We will begin class with a review of the group solutions to the Base64 project.
After that I'll give you a brief look at a tool called a hex editor, which can be used to view and edit the contents of binary files. We'll use a seasonal kitten picture as our binary file:
Finally, we will look at example questions to prepare you for your Base64 test on Wednesday. I've prepared a practice quiz for that purpose.
