What it can do
- Read a byte-oriented sample
- Find printable runs
- Deduplicate the recovered strings

Source and verification
Adapted from University Politehnica of Bucharest: introductory security lab. The explanation and sample are written for Serialize, use synthetic or documentation-safe data, and are checked against the current operation catalogue. The workflow runs locally without an external API call.
