Issue
I have a Microsoft Windows .exe file on my Linux Mint box. I would like to convert the contents into a .txt file, but in the binary (think of 1s and 0s) form.
I have found commands which want to convert it into hexademical, or other formats, which are outside the scope of my requirements.
Is there a command to do this on Linux?
Solution
You can use xxd
to view binary or hexadecimal dumps
for binary
xxd -b {_file_}.exe
To get the output of this command inside a .txt
file
xxd -b {_file_.exe} > {_file_}.txt
