Bizarrow · January 11, 2018

how do you tell the difference between Binary and Hex? when I search up "What a Binary Looks like" I get this

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.

Binary is the file inside .App ( if to Zenonia 4 is called Zenonia4_iPhone )

Binary can open with IDA pro to check the ARM instruction.

when u found the offset in IDA, u can use Hex editor (go to address 0xoffset ) and change the hex (hexdecimal)

so:

Binary = filename

hexdecimal = hex = 16byte from ARM instruction.

Offset= address which the ARM stored.

16byte from ARM instruction? And aren't every single app a file name?

I mean How to tell the difference between file name and 16byte from arm instruction (whatever that is) because when I'm in filza and open any app file it has name example resources.dat how to tell difference?
