It looks like the packet was written correctly, then re-written over two
bytes off.
the Packet header ends 02 00 which should be (00 00) then is followed by
02 00 which is the start of the packed message header. Then each field is
also offset by 2 bytes...
It looks like it's to David Smit? (I guess david smith) so the TO field
should look like
David Smith<NULL>
but instead looks like
DaDavid Smit
The from looks like
DaDaryl Stou
When it should be
Daryl Stout<NULL>
And so on...
So while mystic should discard that packet as you say, more concerning is
whatever the hub is running causing packets like that?
The message is FROM a synchronet system, but I suspect it's not
synchronet to blame but whatever is in between.
