+Usually if I don't feel like converting a hexadecimal number by hand, I fire up some online calculator. But I learned this while watching [Packet Tuesdays with Dr. Johannes Ullrich](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0lO874DwNM&list=PLs4eo9Tja8biVteSW4a3GHY8qi0t1lFLL&index=3).
+
+Fire up the python REPL:
+
+```python
+int('1000', base=16)
+4096
+```
+
+Its the simple things that get you! And I code for living! :) Thanks Dr. Johannes Ullrich
