What are "NNs"?

Theoretically, would it not work just to take diffs of a file between changes/saves/whatever and find the pattern(s) in each incremental slice of difference? For example, a program saving its settings to a .dat file. Would this theoretically be so difficult if you could get 5-6 diff snapshots of settings-saves?
Not disagreeing with you, just asking from a theoretical perspective now, wondering if this would actually be so difficult as to need AI.
