00 is a perfectly valid byte value in a private key... all values between 0x01 and 0xFFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFE BAAE DCE6 AF48 A03B BFD2 5E8C D036 4140 are valid private keys.

refer: https://developer.bitcoin.org/devguide/wallets.html#private-key-formats

check this on bitaddress
Code:
249C000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Does a 00 in a private key indicate a corruption of the key ie 249C00. Thanks if anyone knows.
