Echoing @undergroundmonorail in that random is better. It can be simplified a bit too, perhaps to while sleep 0.$((RANDOM%7+3)); do head -c200 /dev/urandom | od -An -w50 -x | grep -E --color "([a-f][0-9]){2}"; done (This sleeps 0.3-0.9 seconds each time.)

In OS X, I used od -An -N 191 -x

Reminds me of the never ending search for "ca fe": cat /dev/random | hexdump | grep "ca fe"

Personally, I prefer this with sleep 0.5 changed to sleep.$[$RANDOM % 10]. It makes it a bit jerkier, and more like a real search. I do like it, though!

It seems that your version of od does not support the -w option. You can drop this option, it's here just to show more columns of data, to fill the screen a bit more.

(Bear with me, new to bash) but when running this line, (mac osx, terminal) I get this output on a loop: od: illegal option -- w usage: od [-aBbcDdeFfHhIiLlOosvXx] [-A base] [-j skip] [-N length] [-t type] [[+]offset[.][Bb]] [file ...]
