I am trying to analyze symmetric block ciphers like DES, 3DES and AES, using Cryptool 2Cryptool 2. I want to do a frequency analysis on each of these ciphers, in order to comment whether this is an effective way for cryptanalysis or not.

However, the ciphertext these ciphers produce comes in hex form: enter image description here

My question is - when performing frequency analysis on such ciphers, do I input the hex ciphertext or do I need to transform it into text? How can I comment on that (based on letter frequency or bit occurrence)?
