Hex edit detected was the name given to an unobtainable item that can be seen in the Certer and Quiz Master random events.

During RuneScape 2, players would use hex editors in attempts to change the quantities of items, or to view items not normally available in game. The Granite maul and Abyssal whip were discovered by players before their official announcement through such methods. As a result, more precautions were taken against this, including Hunter being named as "Hex editing" ingame before release.

In August 2005, 10 items were added with the names Hex edit detected, which were designed to frighten players who searched the game cache or edited item IDs to view them ingame. Despite the intimidating examine information (Your IP has been logged and passed to Customer Support.), it is unlikely any action was actually taken against players who did so, since hex editing was not server-side.

Although the name and examine were removed in February 2006, the items are still present in Old School RuneScape, as they appear in the interfaces for both the Quiz Master and the Certer random events.
