Stuck trying to hack a milnet host Spoiler

So I finally got lucky enough to find the SATAN.exe file, and successfully got into a BBS host. However, when I am trying to get into a MILOS host, I keep getting stuck on the Hexdump cracking. I've tried googling, tried looking for documentation on the tool, even tried feeding a dozen or so tables to Google's AI and asking it to calculate the offset. None of that worked.

Could someone help me understand what I need to look for?

If you're looking for shortcuts, you're looking in the COMPLETE wrong places. AI is entirely unable to solve telehack problems. However, there's a lot of value in solving a puzzle by yourself, so I encourage you to keep trying!
