A Quick Journey Through Hex

A Quick Journey Through Hex

Basic Hex Tutorial

Part 1: Hiding a Picture

You will need:
• A Hex Editor (I recommend Hex Workshop) http://www.download.com/3000-2352-10…e&tag=butt on
• And a picture

Hex Code is basically the source code of a program, application or file (not a web page). Each string is dependant upon the previous one in a picture file, so if one letter was changed, logic would say that the picture would be corrupted.

To hide a picture, the first thing you need to do is open it up with your hex editor by right clicking it and selecting hex edit with Hex Workshop. You screen now looks like this:

Now all you have to do is change one letter and it will be hidden.

Remember what letter or number you changed and change it back when you want it to be revealled.

Part 2: Finding a Serial

To find an unencrypted serial in hex code, the only thing you need is Hex Workshop and the file you’re hacking. You first open up the file in hex like you did before. You should see something like this:

Now comes the hard part (comparatively speaking). What you now should do is press Ctrl+F. You now can search for text or hex strings. You should first search password and then search serial. Anything that may relate to the serial is worth a search. After searching password, I found the password here:

If the serial is encrypted, which is unlikely, then the password would have to be decoded with seperate software.
