it says for SSLRequest packet:

Int32(80877103)
The SSL request code. The value is chosen to contain 1234 in the most
significant 16 bits, and 5679 in the least significant 16 bits.

I don't see how that works. 0x12345678 is 305,419,897.

80877103 decimal in hex is 0x04D2162F

It's 1234 and 5679, not 0x1234 and 0x5679. That is, it's decimal, not hexadecimal.

0x04D2 = 1234

0x162F = 5679
