Binary editing refers to the process of modifying binary files, which are files that contain data in a format that is not easily readable by humans. This type of editing is often used in software development, data recovery, and digital forensics. Binary editors allow users to view and change the raw data within these files, enabling them to fix errors, alter functionality, or extract information. In binary editing, each byte of data is represented in a numerical format, typically in hexadecimal. Tools known as hex editors are commonly used for this purpose, providing a visual interface to navigate and edit the binary content. This technique is essential for tasks such as debugging software or analyzing file structures.
