  "description": "For various reasons, a hex editor should always be installed on a computer. As the name says content is shown by use of hex numbers. The preview image clearly shows the reason for this. For example, image files contain so-called magic numbers that can be used to identify the format of the file or image. They may also contain metadata of different kind. All of this information can be made visible with a hex editor. In this case, a tile was examined with ImageMagic in GIF 89a format.  In the past, hackers used hex editors e.g. to crack computer games by modifying parts of the code using, for example, a hex editor.",
