convert exe to hexdump with powershell

To convert an EXE file to a hexdump using PowerShell, you can use the Get-Content
cmdlet to read the binary data of the file and then convert it to a hexadecimal representation.
Here's an example PowerShell script that demonstrates this conversion:
powershell$filePath = "path/to/your/file.exe"
$hexDumpFilePath = "path/to/save/hexdump.txt"
# Read the binary data of the file
$fileContent = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes($filePath)
# Convert the binary data to hexadecimal representation
$hexDump = ""
foreach ($byte in $fileContent) {
$hexDump += "{0:X2} " -f $byte
}
# Save the hexdump to a file
$hexDump | Out-File -FilePath $hexDumpFilePath
Make sure to replace "path/to/your/file.exe"
with the actual path to your EXE file, and "path/to/save/hexdump.txt"
with the desired path to save the hexdump file.
Running the script will generate a text file containing the hexadecimal representation of the EXE file.
Note that this method loads the entire file into memory, so it may not be suitable for extremely large files. Additionally, the resulting hexdump file can be quite large, depending on the size of the original EXE file.
