Malicious Java applets have been making news for awhile so I thought I would update Converter to include some new features to help with deobfuscating them.

+ Replaced Binary-to/from-Text with Binary-to/from-Hex to make it more useful

+ Added Filter > “Keep Hex” to only keep hex characters

+ Added Format > “Mixed Octal to Hex” to convert a mixture of text and octal to hex

+ Added Format > “Sort Text” to sort a string

+ Added Format > “Hex Format – CSV” separates hex values with a comma

+ Added Tools > “String Builder” to keep values between quotes

+ Modified “Dec-to-Hex” and “Dec-to-Octal” to handle negative integers

+ Added “copy output to input” option to Secret Decoder Ring

+ Added ability to import first KB (or all) of data to Key Search/Convert

+ Eliminated extra fields in Key Search/Convert screen

+ Made expression capability in Key Search/Convert and Convert Binary File a little more robust (added Extra > “Expressions Help”)
