Hi, thanks for following up. What i was looking for is a raw dump of the TCP stream without any byte or character substitution. In this way, I could pipe the tcpflow output to a decoder, in order to get a human readable display of a proprietary binary message format.
Does that make sense? I don't (try to) use tcpflow for this any more, but i still feel strongly that it should support this mode of operation.
