This is better than printing random bytes in the terminal. Note that Jakub suggested 'hexdump', but Mat found out this tool is not often installed by default. 'od' can do a similar job, and it is in the POSIX specs and available in coreutils, so it should be on more systems. While at it, display a few more bytes, just to fill in the two lines. And no need to display the 3rd only line showing the next number of bytes: 0000040.
