Understanding Hexadecimal IP Notation

Log File Analysis

Some firewall and router logs record source/destination addresses in packed hexadecimal form.

Database Storage

Legacy systems sometimes store IP addresses as a packed hex or integer value instead of dotted-decimal.

Low-Level Debugging

Hex is a compact, byte-aligned way to inspect an address value in a debugger or packet dump.

Client-Side Only

All conversion happens locally in your browser — no data is ever sent to a server.

Dotted Hex vs. Packed Hex

This tool shows two equivalent hex representations: dotted hex (C0.A8.01.01), which keeps each octet visually separated like dotted-decimal notation, and packed hex (0xC0A80101), which concatenates all four bytes into a single hex integer — the form more commonly seen in low-level system logs and legacy database columns.

Key Takeaways

  • Bidirectional: Converts decimal to hex and hex back to decimal automatically.
  • Two Hex Formats: Shows both dotted and packed hex representations for decimal-to-hex conversions.
  • Client-Side Only: All conversion happens locally in your browser — no data is ever sent to a server.
