Unix disassembler?

[Ender]

What disassembler would you recommend for Unix? (poke, poke, iago) Also, what hex editor?

I've been using gdb and objdump for disassembly and HexFiend (OS X) for hex editing, but I was wondering if there were better tools.

(I'd prefer free stuff, though I'm thinking maybe IDA is worth it...)

IDA is worth it x100. There's a free version, too, but it might be Windows-only. I do all my reverse engineering work in Windows, though.

Hex editing, go with whatever works. I usually vim + xxd on Linux, but that isn't pretty (I hardly ever need it, though). On Windows, I use xvi32 because it came up first in a google search and it works well.

I list most of the tools I use on my assembly tutorial wiki:

Nice to know, thanks iago.
