Secondly : each number can have multiple representations or notations. But I can also make groups of 16 apples. So I'll get one Group-of, and 7 lone apples. But how to represent more than 9 Group-of, or more of 9 alone-apples?
Simply, we use letters from A 10 to F The number 31 as in 31 apples is written as 1F in hexadecimal. On the same line, we can do group-of-two-apples. And group of two group-of-two apples, i. Then 23 is : 1 group-of-2x2x2x2-apples, 0 group-of-2x2x2-apples, 1 group-of-2x2-apples, 1 group of 2 apples, and 1 lone apple Which will be noted in binary.
Physically, mechanisms allowing two states switches are easy to do, as well on disk that in memory storage. Then translated - depending upon the data type - into their appropriate form letter A, yellow pixel or executed MOV instruction.
You can then use a calculator to get the corresponding binary form. I would start with od octal dump , and depending on the system, may find tools such as objdump useful. You could open it in a hex editor which shows it as a series of hexadecimal values. The Linux strings command prints the strings of printable characters in files, e. It's available on most linux systems.
An important part about which you still seem confused: Hexadecimal values are just a different representation of binary values. Most hex editors or hexdumps will display values in the hexadecimal base, because it's more readable than in the binary base.
It's usually not very useful as it's quite hard to read unlike hexadecimal dumps. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group. Create a free Team What is Teams? Learn more.
How to view a binary file? Ask Question. Asked 5 years, 7 months ago. Active 1 year, 5 months ago. Viewed k times. I have an assembly compiled binary that should be plain binary code of 1's and 0's?
Improve this question. The ltrace command displays all the functions that are being called at run time from the library. In the below example, you can see the function names being called, along with the arguments being passed to that function. You can also see what was returned by those functions on the far right side of the output. Try opening an executable file or a video file using vim; all you will see is gibberish thrown on the screen.
Opening unknown files in Hexdump helps you see what exactly the file contains. You can also choose to see the ASCII representation of the data present in the file using some command-line options. This might help give you some clues to what kind of file it is. If Hexdump seems a bit like overkill for your use case and you are simply looking for printable characters within a binary, you can use the strings command.
Provided all this information is present in the binary, it will be dumped to screen using strings. If you have utilized tools like file command, which tells you that the file is in ELF format, the next logical step will be to use the readelf command and its various options to analyze the file further.
Having a reference of the actual ELF specification handy when using readelf can be very useful. You can find the specification here. Binaries are created when you write source code which gets compiled using a tool called, unsurprisingly, a compiler. This compiler generates machine language instructions equivalent to the source code, which can then be executed by the CPU to perform a given task. This machine language code can be interpreted via mnemonics called an assembly language.
An assembly language is a set of instructions that help you understand the operations being performed by the program and ultimately being executed on the CPU. Knowledge of assembly is critical to understand the output of the objdump command. If you have used ltrace , mentioned earlier, think of strace being similar. The only difference is that, instead of calling a library, the strace utility traces system calls. System calls are how you interface with the kernel to get work done.
To give an example, if you want to print something to the screen, you will use the printf or puts function from the standard library libc ; however, under the hood, ultimately, a system call named write will be made to actually print something to the screen. If you are working with a binary that is not stripped, the nm command will provide you with the valuable information that was embedded in the binary during compilation. You can imagine how useful this would be if you don't have access to the source code of the binary being analyzed.

At all. So I really doubt that "Depending on your client you can set the mode to transfer ascii conversion or binary" , as the server most likely do not support it.
Although I have yet to find a client that supports it. Martin Prikryl — Dilip Panda. DilipPanda Please post it as an answer to close this question. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google.
