I have tried HHD Free hex editor.. it gives a good interface.. but all i tried was editing the text files as i didnt knew much.. Actually i dont know how is an exe file formed completely, what are there at different levels... but if one knows it, we can make changes in the program by using it..

I remember making some editing in the game files exe to activate some part of the games.. recently i remembr editing the GTA San Andres game file exe to activate the hidden contents of the games.. but it was all automated, a patch would do some bit manipulation to activate a flag in the main exe file...

@Harshil I think w32asm is a disassembler, not a hex editor...

As for hex editors, many people recommend HIEW, but I find XVI32 to be very good. It has an intuitive UI and a lot of useful features. I remember looking at the assembly listing of a program (got using w32dasm) and then changing a string from "unregistered" to "registered". Well, it didn't actually make the program registered, but at least gave the appearance.

But in most cases disassembling a program and/or editing it's machine code instructions it is illegal na? Most of those EULAs explicitly state this... (well, yes, I actually read them.. )

Yes m8 w32dasm is an dissassembler, but i mentioned it because thats th place where most newbies start off with the low level editing, they can also debug the program, and have a look whats going around, find strings, and then edit them using hview or some other tool.
