Zahary Karadjov 0bcdabfcdf Detect another invalid SSZ input found through fuzzing
The first offset of an SSZ object should always have a fixed constant
value. Otherwise, some unused bytes may appear between the fixed portion
and the dynamic portion.

Please note that this fix shutds down the minimal forward compatibility
currently supported by the SSZ format (and thus, the expected behavior
must be clarified in the SSZ spec).

Work in progress. Things may and probably will break for the foreseeable future. Do not rely on this for anything.

Connecting to Testnet

To connect to a short-lived testnet we may or may not have running at the moment, use the connect_to_testnet script like so:

scripts/connect_to_testnet.sh testnet0

Running your own testnet

The beacon_node binary has a createTestnet command.

  nim c -r beacon_chain/beacon_node \
    --data-dir=$NETWORK_DIR/data \
    createTestnet \
    --validators-dir=$NETWORK_DIR \
    --total-validators=$VALIDATOR_COUNT \
    --last-user-validator=$LAST_USER_VALIDATOR \
    --output-genesis=$NETWORK_DIR/genesis.ssz \
    --output-bootstrap-file=$NETWORK_DIR/bootstrap_nodes.txt \
    --bootstrap-address=$PUBLIC_IP \
    --genesis-offset=600 # Delay in seconds

Replace ENV vars with values that make sense to you.
