A note about intentional sloppyness

Open tjayrush opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

This input string comes from transaction 8855603.121:

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000003c00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000400000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000014f503017d7baf7fbc0fff7492b751025c6a78179b000000000000000000000000

Breaking it into 32 byte chunks yeilds:

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000003c
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000040
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000014

It's an address stored as a string which gives me an idea.

If the input data has a 32-byte portion with 31 leading zeros and the hex number 14 (i.e., decimal 20), and if the following 32-byte portion has 12 trailing zeros, that might be an address.
