HEX Generator

A simple yet versatile HEX Generator application built with Rust and GTK+ 4 for Linux desktops.

Features

• Theme Support: Adapts to your system's light or dark theme settings for a native look and feel.
• Variety of Generators: Provides several types of data generation:
  • Custom: Generate HEX strings with a user-defined number of digits.
  • GUID: Generate universally unique identifiers (UUID v4).
  • Mac Address: Generate random MAC addresses.
  • HEX Color: Generate random HEX color codes (e.g., #RRGGBB).
  • HEX Color with alpha: Generate random HEX color codes with an alpha channel (e.g., #AARRGGBB).
  • Byte Sequence: Generate sequences of HEX bytes (e.g., 00 FF 1A).
  • Prefixed HEX: Generate HEX strings with a "0x" prefix.
  • EUI-64 Identifier: Generate 64-bit Extended Unique Identifiers (e.g., a3:f1:7c:5b:2e:90:b4:c1).
  • IPv4 Address: Generate random IPv4 addresses (e.g., 192.168.1.42).
  • IPv6 Address: Generate random IPv6 addresses (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334).
• Customizable Output: Control the number of lines and digits (for applicable generators) and toggle uppercase output.
• Easy Sharing & Saving: Copy generated data to the clipboard, share it, or save it to a file.

This project is open source and aims to provide a straightforward tool for developers and users who need to quickly generate various HEX-based data.

Command Line Interface

The application can also be used from the command line for automation and scripting purposes. When no arguments are provided, the GUI will launch.
