These are the slides and demostration scripts used for the KWLUG talk titled "But I don't want to look at the sourcecode!" given by me, Tim Laurence, on October 5th 2009. Feel free to share and use this. 

To view the presentation slides you will need "tpp"(text presentation program) installed. On Ubuntu there is a package for this; apt-get install tpp. After you have done that you may view it be typing "tpp talk.tpp". To advance slides you use the space bar. The demo code is shown in a "less" window so you must hit "q" to quit most demos. Some demos (tcpdump) don't exit automaticly so you may have to hit "ctrl+c" to stop the program and then hit q to quit less. Some other demos(wiresharke and top) couldn't work within tpp and were performed manually in another terminal window. 

This is best view in a linux terminal. I found x-windows terminal programs did not render my slides as well. Running the demos under a root account works better.

I would like to thank the people who had helpful suggestions of some other tools to solve these types of problems. "nm" looks like is could be useful but I have no unstripped binaries. "htop" rocks my world. Everyone should check it out.
