Okteta

The latest stable release is version 0.3, included in KDE 4.3. Okteta is a free and open source software, available for Linux and similar operating systems under the GNU General Public License (GPL), Version 2.

The data is displayed in two variants: as the numeric values of the bytes and as the characters assigned to the values. Values and characters can be shown either in two columns (the traditional display in hex editors) or in rows with the value on top of the character. Editing can be done both for the values and for the characters. Besides the usual editing capabilities Okteta also brings a small set of tools, like a table listing decodings into common simple data types, a table listing all possible bytes with its' character and value equivalents, a info view with a statistic, a checksum calculator and a filter tool. All modifications to the data loaded can be endlessly undone or redone.

Additionally to the program there is a component named KBytesEdit. This component implements the KHexEdit interfaces of the KDE Libs, so it can be used in other programs.
