2008-04-03 Thread Erez D
hi i am looking for something like 'diff' which can compare binary files and give a result other then just 'differ' or 'same' the same as what diff does for text files. i though of using xxd with a regular diff, but that doesn't help, as if there is one byte missing, all lines are shifted which m

xxd's function is exactly to convert from binary into text. Try to convert your binary files using: xxd -p -c1 (works for me: xxd -v output is "xxd V1.10 27oct98 by Juergen Weigert"). I checked also how to do it using od. The following would work (my od --version is 5.97): od -v -w1 -ta --address

I don't have a machine that runs tcpdump. Plus it needs root access. I wonder if I create one of these free shells that are out there, will it help? tcpdump will work without root as well? Last time I talked with 012 and hot, hot managed to dissconnect me completely. The support from hot was nice,
