I get where you're coming from but upon reflection, I'd actually suggest 
that it's not particularly useful or necessary to know much about ML in 
this instance.

I've done a _lot_ of reverse-engineering and identification of data 
embedded in code is usually done by inspection of the disassembled 
listing (ie. ASM, looking for nonsensical instruction sequences) or 
patterns in the data bytes themselves (without any thought as to the 
instructions they may represent).

Or perhaps we just work differently?!?
