Hexadecimal tricks with xxd
MacOS has this tool installed out of the box. You can remove the ASCII readable part on the right if needed using -p and you can revert (change ASCII input to binary data) using -r. Here are some examples:
Converting to hex with ascii view:
echo example | xxd
Converting to a hexdump (no ascii view on the right):
echo example | xxd -p
Converting from a hexdump back to binary data:
echo 746573740a | xxd -p -r
Open a file and see it like in a hex editor:
cat my_file.txt | xxd
