 Is there any advantage in displaying hex output? ( -x switch)?<br />
Currently I use tcpdump with the -n -e -s 1514 switches. &nbsp;Does viewing hex have any advantages? Are you viewing the actual encapsulated data when you do this?<br />
<br />
Also, is it true that the ascii interpretation of the hex is also shown? I heard the asci after each line of hex, was the hex in ascii (wow does that make sense?)<br />
Thanks<br />
