There is (was?) a hex editor for linux called bev that might do the trick. The problem with using dd and grep (e.g., dd if=/dev/hda | grep 'string') is the best you will get is that the string you're interested in is somewhere on the disk.Is there a way (dunno, maybe using dd and grep?) that an entire drive, and not just the files on it, can be scanned for a character string?
