I'm answering myself.
I found out from this post, that the "*
" in hexdump means "same as previous line". Meaning that my whole dd
file is filled with \0
chars.
I can make it explicit with :
head -c1000 mac.dd | hexdump -v 0000000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000010 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000020 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000030 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000040 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 [...]
Or in a shorter way :
# hexdump -v -n1000 mac.dd 0000000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000010 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000020 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000030 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000040 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 [...]
So now, I know that the dd
dump is filled of nothing.
Thanks for anyone who read my problem down to here.
