That's not an executable file. I guess you could use IDA's built in hex editor to hex edit that file but you shouldn't go through the hassle of going that just use HxD or something

I have HxD and how do you tell the difference between Binary and Hex? I've made a topic about it and been talking about how to do it in like every topic I made but don't get a answer. And when I search up "What a Binary Looks like" I get this

Binary is a term used im place of executable, when we say binary we don't (usually) mean actual binary (0's and 1's). Binaries (or executables, same thing) are made up of instructions represented by hexadecimal.

So then my main question is How to tel the Difference between hex and binary? Because I need to know either to use Hex Editor or IDA when I search "What Hexadecimal looks like" it looks like this:

and that looks just like the last picture and the other one was a Binary picture.
