Hexencoding
Hexencoding, also known as hexadecimal encoding, is a system for representing binary data using a set of 16 distinct symbols. These symbols are typically the digits 0 through 9 and the letters A through F. Each symbol represents a value from 0 to 15. This system is widely used in computing because it provides a more human-readable way to display binary information compared to raw binary strings.
The core principle of hexencoding is that each hexadecimal digit can represent exactly four bits of binary
Common applications of hexencoding include displaying raw data in network packets, file dumps, and memory addresses.
