I'm not sure what EIP is but I do know that hex in this case is for lack of a better way to say it "binary shorthand". Each hex digit 0-9, A-F representing a 4 bit binary string (binary table=128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1). In this case h4=0100 h1=0001 so 0x41414141 is short-hand for the 32 bit binary value: 0100001010000101000010100001

I'm not that good in hex, but I swear that I thought that you missed something.... ;) _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
