Diskprobe Deb -
Searching for "diskprobe deb" indicates you need a native Debian package (.deb) rather than a source tarball or Snap/Flatpak. There are three key reasons for this preference:
git clone https://github.com/jonasb/DiskProbe.git cd DiskProbe
Sometimes the package name is case-sensitive or slightly different. Perform a search:
apt-cache search diskprobe
If nothing appears, try a broader search: diskprobe deb
apt-cache search sector editor
apt-cache search forensics

sudo apt update

sudo wxhexeditor /dev/sda
Or, if you are using a command-line tool like xxd:
sudo xxd /dev/sda | less
