Extracting input addresses from raw transactions Ethereum
Ethereum transactions are complex and include more inputs, including “Vin” addresses (verifiable entry). In this article we will guide you through the process of extracting these addresses from the raw transaction in offline mode.
Overview of RAW Transaction components **
The raw Ethereum transaction consists of several components:
- TXN ID : A unique transaction identifier.
- Z : Sender address (eg “0x …”).
- DO : Recipient address’.
- ** Value
: Value sent in a transaction.
- Gas Limit : The gas limit used to perform a transaction.
Extracting input addresses
In order to extract the entry addresses from the raw transaction, we need to identify the component of the "vine" that is responsible for creating these addresses. Thevincomponent is usually created by the sender's private key and contains:
- ** Address: Sender address (hexadecimal chain).
- ** Suma
: Value sent in a transaction.
- ** PUBLICKEYHash: Public Part of the Sender’s address.
Here is an example of a raw transaction:
`Raw
TXN ID: 0x1234567890ABCDEF
From: 0x … (sender address)
Do: 0x …
Value: 10 ether
Gas Limit: 20000
`
Extracting input addresses
In order to extract input addresses, we need to analyze the raw transaction and identify the vin
component.
In the typical Implementation of Ethereum, the vin
component is stored in the field ‘TX.vinof raw transaction. To access this field we can use
ethh.utils.tobuffer ()function from the library eéters.js:
Javascript
Const Tx = // Analyze a raw transaction
// Get the VIN field as a cache
Const Vinbuffer = Tx.vin;
// Create a field to store the input addresses
Const Inputaddresses = [];
// iterate over VIN records and extract the address
for (let i = 0; i
Const input = Vinbuffer [i];
IF (input.index === 0) {// west of the sender
Const privatekey = ethh.utils.Tohex (input.Privatekey);
Inspladdress.push (privatekey); // Add the sender’s address to the box
}
}
`
Extraction of Infline address
In offline mode, we need to extract addresses without requiring an Ethereum connection. One of the approaches is the use of a library like Ethers.js
, which provides the“ OD ”and“ to ”feature to conversion between accounts and addresses Ethereum.
Here is an example of how to extract input addresses from the raw transaction using eéters.JS:
`Javascript
Const {eth} = require (‘Ethers’);
// Create an instance of an Ethereum contract
Const Contract = New et.Contract (“Contractaddress”, “0x …”); // replace the contract address
// load data on raw transactions (eg from a file or database)
Const txdata = // to load raw transactions here
// convert the TX.vin field to the field of entry addresses
Const Instuddresses = Awaiting Contract.from (TXDATA) .GET (“from”). then ((address) => {
return address.address;
});
Console.log (Inputaddresses); // output: field ([0x …])
`
Conclusion
In this article, we have demonstrated how to extract the entry addresses from the raw Ethereum transactions using an offline mode. By analyzing the transactions data and identifying the “Vin” component, then we can extract the sender’s addresses as hexadecimal chains.
Note that this is a simplified example and in the real world scenarios you may need to handle errors, marginal cases and other requirements (eg support for multiple inputs).
