No big mistery of that:

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFEBAAEDCE6AF48A03BBFD25E8CD0364141


Ok, do you know how we can shift the place of bolded part? To make it look like this:


EBAAEDCE6AF48A03BBFD25E8CD0364141FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Or even better, imagine this is target :

0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001234567

Now how can we make it look like this:

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF1234567EBAAEDCE6AF48A03BBFD25E8CD0364141
Lol, this is simple add or sub, to change all of those.

But for the last one, why would you take a smaller target and make it astronomically bigger?
