The Story
About Hex
Hexadecimal is how programmers read binary without going blind: every byte becomes two neat characters, 0–9 and A–F. Memory dumps, color codes, exploit write-ups and half the puzzles in hacker-themed games speak it fluently.
Krunes converts each character of your text to its hex byte value and back. If you have ever typed #ff6b6b to pick a colour, you already speak a little hex.
- “4B 72 75 6E 65 73” spells Krunes.
- One hex digit is exactly four bits, a “nibble”, because it’s half a byte.
- CSS colours like #7ad0e0 are just three hex bytes: red, green, blue.
- Games like Exapunks and TIS-100 make hex literacy part of the gameplay.
