How do I search for numbers in a hex editor? For example ,08 05 A0 EC. I'm using HxD. Tried copy pasting into the search and doesn't find it. Even offsets won't work.

Any suggestions for a better hex editor if there are any?

HxD may be looking for a text string, when you press CTRL + F change the thing to "Hex-Values"

Still can't find it :(

Do I need to separate every two numbers with anything like spaces, slashes, or dashes?

Your problem is you haven't reversed your pointer.

To find the pointer to '08 05 A0 EC' (aka 05A0EC) you must split it up and reverse. So search for EC A0 05 08 (added on the end). Then do as DS says :) ctrl-f, pick 'hex values' in the drop down menu, etc. Best to tick 'all' rather than forward/backward as well.

Are you sure 05A0EC is the location of whatever you're pointing to? If you're out by just one byte you won't be able to find it.

I got an error in your link. :(

Link Fixed

What should I check off? begin, current offset, or end? There's multiple results for the offset.

Sorry, first time using a hex editor.

You're not finding you're going to. Like Team Fail pointed out - use "goto" and just copy and past the offset in the tutorial.
