If you've ever developed crypto hardware or software, you get to the
point where you memorize the hex for a key block, and when you
see it computed correctly (even as you tweak the code or RTL)
its a joy.
One can also look at the entropic properties as you feed test

In my case I added -i 3 to the netcat options. Isn't a panacea, but
