    I just started recognizing patterns. I forget which equipment we were using, but there was almost always some data screeching over a certain connection in the lab. My colleague picked up on it as well.

      So by listen, how did it work? Like picking out ascii from the bits like it’s Morse code??

        Similar to skimming ARM machine code in hexadecimal - patterns stand out and you can see the overall structure, though not necessarily single bytes. Enough to recognize the nature of the data if it’s one that was heard before.
