While working with exploits and modules, we will require tons of conversion operations. Let's see some of the conversions we will use in the upcoming sections:
- Hexadecimal to decimal conversion:
- It's quite easy to convert a value to a decimal from a hexadecimal in Ruby using the inbuilt hex function. Let's look at an example:
irb(main):021:0> a= "10"=> "10"irb(main):022:0> a.hex=> 16
-
- We can see we got the value 16 for a hexadecimal value of 10.
- Decimal to hexadecimal conversion:
- The opposite of the preceding function can be performed with the to_s function, as follows:
irb(main):028:0> 16.to_s(16)=> "10"
