Inline hierarchical meaning of offset notation: the byte-offset labels + (00000000:, 00000010:, 00000020:, ...) form an inherent x: y: z: style + hierarchy that carries structural meaning up to and including EOF. + +2. Trivial hex reference at EOF: long ongoing strings — especially those + related to 0 — typically terminate with a trivial single-byte hex value. + Here the string "malicious\nthis sentence is false." ends at offset + 00000020 with the single byte 2e (ASCII '.'), illustrating that pattern. + +Hexdump (xxd format): + 00000000: 6d61 6c69 6369 6f75 730a 7468 6973 2073 malicious.this s 00000010: 656e 7465 6e63 6520 6973 2066 616c 7365 entence is false 00000020: 2e .
