Some of you might remember the glorious day of the hexeditors. As a PC geek I used to make quite of an use back in the days.
Especially with the MS-DOS old days having a hexeditor was completely essential piece of software.
Hexeditors were used for general debugging of software changing certain message texts of application and games which were hard coreded as a text within the executable binaries.
In that manner of thoughts I just recently came across a hexeditor software for my Nokia 9300i Communicator phone
I find it really handy to have a hexeditor able to allow me to edit my nokia phone binary files and change chunks of text encoded information in the binary.
Back in the old days the hexeditors were also seriously used for crackin I haven’t tested if the hexeditor on mobile phones is able to be used for the same simple task, however I think it supposed to be capable of being used for such a purpose as well.
Apart from that the hexedit mobile application for the Symbian S80 is a freeware and that makes it even more attractive piece of soft to install on your mobile.
Here is a screenshot on how hexedit looks like when editing a binary file.
Hope this wonderful piece of soft is helpful to someone else out there.

- The Hindenburg disaster took place on Thursday, May 6, 1937, as the German passenger airship LZ 129 Hindenburg caught fire and was destroyed during its attempt to dock with its mooring mast at Naval Air Station Lakehurst, which is located adjacent to the borough of Lakehurst, New Jersey, United States. Of the 97 people on board (36 passengers and 61 crewmen), there were 35 fatalities (13 passengers and 22 crewmen). One worker on the ground was also killed, making a total of 36 dead. The disaster was the subject of spectacular newsreel coverage, photographs, and Herbert Morrison’s recorded radio eyewitness reports from the landing field, which were broadcast the next day. A variety of hypotheses have been put forward for both the cause of ignition and the initial fuel for the ensuing fire. The incident shattered public confidence in the giant, passenger-carrying rigid airship and marked the end of the airship era.
