Project: Misc source code

xovercheck.pl is a quick script I wrote when I was investigating corruption in the newsserver's overview database. This script uses NNTP to query the xover information for a group of articles from a server, and retrieves the same articles using the NNTP "head" command, and compares the header values.

tcpdump.c.diff is a patch to the tcpdump program to allow it to display its output in not only hex but also, where possible, characters. In other words, something like this:

The patch was written quite a long time ago; this functionality is already in modern versions of tcpdump.
