If it was generated by a physical process, it might be possible that the signal has lower entropy than a truly random signal. It would be interesting to look at n-gram frequencies.

First you would have to extract the original digits. Since log(10) * 10^6 / log(256) = 415241.01, and the binary file contains 415241 bytes, I assume that the binary file is produced by converting a million digit number to binary.
