After the last byte

Mission briefing

A recruitment mailbox received a CV with a profile photo attached. The gateway checked the attachment, found a valid image, rendered a thumbnail for the moderation queue and let it through. The thumbnail is fine. The file is not: a JPEG decoder stops at a specific two-byte marker and ignores everything after it, and this file keeps going for another sixty-seven bytes. Read what was stapled on the end and give the name of the file it carries. All 217 bytes are below, the first four are highlighted, and the ASCII column on the right is where this file gives itself away without decoding anything.
