Shed (Simple Hex Editor) is an easy application for viewing and editing files in text mode, using ncurses. The main features are:

- Displays each byte as ascii, hex, decimal, octal and binary; - Allows changes to be input in all of the above displayed modes, with bit toggling in the binary column; - Simple Pico-style interface; - Search resource; - Can dump information to file; - Small memory requirements because file is not loaded into memory; - Large file support.

shed is useful in forensics investigations.
