Introduction

File-Xray is a classical file hexadecimal viewer/editor.
It offers classical navigation functions to display the real contents of data sectors.
It also offers analytical displays for some data structures it knows about (MacBinary, Binhex files, etc.).

User Interface

The user interface is the same as classical hexadecimal editors:

NTFS servers

File_XRay is probably the only hexadecimal editor being able to display the secondary streams of NTFS files. For instance, if you have Macintosh files stored on a NTFS server managed by SFM, you can display and edit the resource fork and even the metadata (so-called Finder Information).

Analytical Display

File-XRay recognizes following data structures, and displays them accordingly:

• ISO Volume Descriptor
• Joliet Volume Descriptor
• ISO Path Table
• Joliet Path Table
• ISO Directory
• Joliet Directory
• EFI Partition Table
• Macintosh Volume Descriptor
• Macintosh Partition Table
• Macintosh Master Directory Block
• Macintosh B Tree Header
• Macintosh B Tree Nodes
• MacBinary Files
• BinHex Files
• AppleSingle Files
• AppleDouble Files

File Editing

File-XRay features an Edition mode, where you can write into the file, sector by sector. Needless to say that this feature can be very dangerous, but also very powerful.
