Here, a 186-bits partial collision, found in less than two minutes on my CPU, by brute force :
sha256(cbfad45814d54d1d56d30de387d957ed3b50e06270ad6e4b897f4a0000000000) = 692207e28eb8dd3eb4f8fab938ea5103faa1060c3bbed204f564e10c65d06b33 sha256(cbfad45814d54d1d56d30de387d957ed3b50e06270ad6e4be8c33e0000000000) = 006347a21f7c9b3eb4fa52b75d0e5a03dbe556b579d6d2867d44c38c06546f6f
(in Python :
>>> hashlib.sha256(bytes.fromhex("cbfad45814d54d1d56d30de387d957ed3b50e06270ad6e4b897f4a0000000000")).hexdigest()
