The trouble is that you are printing the raw 6 byte string (note that hex 67
is the ASCII code for a lower-case 'g')
So you just need to convert it into 12 hex digits:
a = "\x00\x10\x83\xfd\xdd\x67"
puts a.unpack("H*").first
Here's one way to add the colons:
a = "\x00\x10\x83\xfd\xdd\x67"
puts a.unpack("H2H2H2H2H2H2").join(":")
