# chx - (C)lipboard (H)ex(D)umper
## Introduction
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.
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.
## Example result:
Here you can see a base64 encoded string as an input, copied to the clipboard by chx. When reversing the base64 string in Cyber Chef, you can clearly see it is in fact a Windows binary.
# Getting started
## Usage
### As raw hexdump:
For copying a direct hexdump (formatted C friendly) to your clipboard:
```shell
./chx -f /path/to/your/binary
```
An example of the output:
```C
\x4d\x5a\x90\x00\x03\x00\x00\x00\x04\x00\x00...
```
### As base64 encoded string
To copy as a base64 encoded string, add the `-b` flag:
```shell
./chx -f /path/to/your/binary -b
```
An example of the output:
```
TVqQAAMAAAAEAAAA//8AALgAAAAAAAAA...
```
