HEX2BIN

The HEX2BIN command is a fundamental function for low-level data manipulation. Its purpose is to interpret a readable string (consisting of hexadecimal characters) and convert it to its original binary representation (a byte array or "buffer"). It takes a string like 48454C4C4F and converts it to the binary buffer containing the corresponding byte values.
