I avoid editing binaries as it's always been better to rebuild.
However, I hit a problem where changing a compiled-in version number was the solution.
vim is the only editor I use.
Open the file in vim then switch to hex editor with
:%!xxd
And exit with
:%!xxd -r
You must have xxd installed for this to work obviously.
