Hexify

Hexify is a .NET library which contains methods to make work with hex string easier. The static Hex class is the one to be used to convert from/to hex, as well as to nicely print the byte arrays. Hex encoding was imported from the excellent Bouncy Castle library.

Hexify is available as a Nuget package: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Hexify/

Example usage

To pretty print a content of a binary file you may use the following code:

using System;
using System.IO;
using LowLevelDesign.Hexify;

public static class Program
{
    public static void Main(string[] args) {
        byte[] b = File.ReadAllBytes(args[0]);
        Console.WriteLine(Hex.PrettyPrint(b));
    }
}

And the result of running this code will be:

PS temp> .\Test.exe Test.exe
