About Hex Timestamps

What are hex timestamps?

  • • Unix timestamps represented in hexadecimal
  • • Common in embedded systems and firmware
  • • Used in binary file formats and protocols
  • • More compact than decimal representation

Endianness matters:

  • • Big Endian: Most significant byte first
  • • Little Endian: Least significant byte first
  • • x86/x64 systems typically use little endian
  • • Network protocols typically use big endian

Examples:

Current Unix: 1759386644
Big Endian Hex: 0x68DE1C14
Little Endian Hex: 0x141CDE68
Fun fact:The Unix timestamp 0x7FFFFFFF (2147483647) is the famous "Year 2038 problem" for 32-bit systems - January 19, 2038 at 03:14:07 UTC!
