How can I read Binary Windows Registry Data?

[metasploit at backstep.net (Lukas Kuzmiak)]

Hi,

for this situation (keys for wifi) the best way should be to convert
the data into HEX format (you can use it as key without any other
conversions) .. Lately i've wrote patch for registry module to
read/write binary data encoded with base64, that's the way too..
