Dump octal code from a binary executable

$ od -A n -t o1 <binary-file>

Where:

• The -A n flag is short for --address-radix=n, with n being short for "none". Without this part, the command would output an ugly numerical address prefix on the left side. This is useful for large dumps, but for a short string it is unnecessary.
• The -t o1 flag is short for --format=o1, with the o being short for "octal" and the 1 meaning 1 byte.
