I am looking to edit a .bin file to change a certain variable that makes a piece of software unusable. I know the issue and know that it is in these files. I've looked for answers elsewhere, and they say to edit the files with any hex editor, but as the name would imply, it converts the .bin into hex. How can I convert this into the variables that I need to change?
Thanks!
 
Solution
a .bin file is hex already; the editor does not convert it. It is not possible to reverse-engineer the .bin file to recover the names of variables in the original programming language. If it is commercial software then any reverse-engineering would likely be illegal.

You might be better advised to contact the writer\publisher of the software.
