I came across a Python library that passed the ASCII range into one of these non printable character ranges and then into a database. If someone was doing that manually with a hex table, how is that detected and mitigated?


No one reads hex as strings IRL.
But it means nothing. You can cypher in much more efficient or clever ways.
