CHX Clipboard HexDumper is a command-line tool written in Rust that allows users to read binary data of a file on disk, convert it to a hex dump or a base64 encoded string, and copy it to the clipboard. This tool is designed for developers and security experts who need to quickly transfer binary data in a readable or encoded format without manual conversion.
You can check the project out here at my GitHub.
Works cross-platform for Windows, Linux, and MacOS.
You can either build from source, or downloads available https://github.com/0xflux/chx/releases/ - why not add it to your PATH for easy usage!
If there are any features you would like to request, please submit an Issue and I will take a look! Or, feel free to contribute to the project! Features
- Read binary data from specified file paths.
- Convert binary data into hex dump format.
- Optionally convert hex dump to base64 encoding.
- Copy the resulting string directly to the system clipboard.
Here you can see a demo of the base64 feature, pasting the base64 encoded hexdump into cyberchef, then reversing the base 64, you can see it is in fact a Windows executable:
