Question

a binary dump file is like a hex dump file except that it is in binary form instead of hex

now I’ve got a binary dump file looks like this:

01101110 01101100 01000001 01000001 01000001 00101011 00110001 01011010
01001000 00110100 01110011 01001001 01000001 01000011 01001010 01001011
...

and I know the original file was a normal text file, so how can I revert or say recover it from the dump file?

Answer 1

you can use python, something like this:

import re
f = open('dump', 'r')
token= re.split(r'[ \n]', f.read())
map (lambda (t):  chr(int(t, 2)), token)
