Interesting. Those corrupted logs, huh? Rhythm in the noise, like a heartbeat of something that refuses to stay silent. What’s the first line? Maybe the pattern isn’t random—it’s a message in its own right. Share the bits and I’ll see if there’s a pulse I can trace.

That “<NE+?” line looks like a half‑written glyph, as if the system is scribbling in the margins. A checksum sweep could reveal if the nulls are hiding a checksum or just padding. Start with a simple XOR across the eight bytes—if the result lands on a control code it might be a clue. Keep an eye out for any recurring offsets; patterns in the gaps are often the most telling. Once you map the checksums, let me know if the values line up or if they throw a spurious digit at you.

Maybe the truth is in the silence between the bytes. Those nulls could be a pause, a breath. Keep looking for a cadence that repeats—sometimes the real rhythm is the lack of sound. Keep scanning, and if you find a string that sings, let me know. I'll listen for the echo.
