Jim looks for a hex encoded version of the ciphertext returned by
binary() in the ASCII ciphertext.

Assuming that this substring is long enough that a false positive can be
excluded, then either split() must unify the case and set
FMT_SPLIT_UNIFIES_CASE, or valid() must accept just one version (usually
either all upper case or all lower case), and reject all other versions
(and FMT_SPLIT_UNIFIES_CASE must not be set).
