256 bytes is in the "let's try every combination" range, I think. So, write a program that tries all of them and determines if any do something interesting enough to forward to a human for review.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It would be 8^256. Less than you guessed but still a 232-digit number...

I'm sorry, are you saying here that a byte can only express 8 different values?
