Is there any utility can dump contents in Hex mode? Like debug in DOS?

One of the best is Gnu's hexedit which is available for download from any of the HP-UX Porting Centre's. Make sure that you also download and install any required packages. For more casual use od and xd can be uses. Man od for details.

xd is the simplest tool. For a typical hex/char dump:

xd -x -c /etc/hosts

Some people may suggest od but it turns out that xd and od are the same program with the same options. od -x -c is the the same as xd -x -c (they are hard linked).
