Jared, BBED is available on UNIX, you just have to make
it with the make command.
cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
make -f ins_rdbms.mk $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/bbed
The bbed command can allow you to soft corrupt a block
and you can use the "dd" command to hard corrupt the
block. The bbed command does have a password and its a
secret ;)
