Process apid 407 memory dumps to more human-readable format #151

Closed jameswilburlewis closed 3 months ago

This is something we need to do from time to time -- we can call "od" (octal dump) on the raw packet files, but you get packet headers and other non-memory-dump information interspersed in the output. It would be good to have a tool that reads the 407 packet file packet-by-packet, strips out the headers and other extraneous data, then writes the dump data to a separate binary file, which can be fed to "od" to generate more human-friendly output.
