Using a technique you mentioned in subject "how to memory dump an object?" at 
16/5/21, I confirm the length of buf was decided by a \x00 byte:

>>> len(buf)
24
>>> id(buf)
13553888
>>> ptr = ctypes.cast(id(buf), ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_ubyte))
>>> buf[:24]
b'\x05ALLOTNPUT_BUFFER_SIZE\x02+'
>>> bytes([ptr[i] for i in range(50)])
b'\x02\x00\x00\x00X\xa1%\x1e\x18\x00\x00\x00\xff\xff\xff\xff\x05ALLOTNPUT_BUFFER_SIZE\x02+\x00\n\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xb0\x9b'
>>>

but it won't help on solving my problem. Still need someone's help:-)
