HackBugUtility is described as 'An alternative to Hercules SETUP by a user of Hercules. Tried to improve it where the author found it difficult to use. Ability to send ASCII and hex mixed, Imprved file saving added scripting, HEX view, etc' and is an app in the development category. There are five alternatives to HackBugUtility for Windows, Linux and Mac. The best HackBugUtility alternative is CoolTerm, which is free. Other great apps like HackBugUtility are Tera Term, RealTerm, Hercules SETUP and QuteSerial.
CoolTerm is a simple serial port terminal application (no terminal emulation) that is geared towards hobbyists and professionals with a need to exchange data with hardware connected to serial ports such as servo controllers, robotic kits, GPS receivers, microcontrollers, etc.
Tera Term (Pro) is a free software terminal emulator (communication program) for MS-Windows. It supports VT100 emulation, telnet connection, serial port connection, and so on.
RealTerm is a terminal program specially designed for capturing, controlling and debugging binary and other difficult data streams. It is far better for debugging comms than HyperTerminal. It has no support for dialing modems, BBS, etc. - that is what HyperTerminal does.
Hercules SETUP utility is a useful serial port terminal (RS-485 or RS-232), UDP/IP terminal and TCP/IP Client Server terminal. It was created for HW group internal use only, but today its includes many functions in one utility and its Freeware!
QuteSerial is a RS232 terminal in the veins of minicom, hyperterminal, and br@y's Terminal.exe. It allows you to access a old-fashioned RS232 (serial) port and display the received data in either a Hex or ASCII format.
