What is this alphanumeric number "9aea000394714d2fbb20850021f6204f2256b9cf" displayed in the console message after starting chrome driver.

Below is the message:

Starting ChromeDriver 2.24.417431 (9aea000394714d2fbb20850021f6204f2256b9cf) on port 9515 Only local connections are allowed.

Is it SHA-1 checksum, which is displayed after git commit??

The alphanumeric number 9aea000394714d2fbb20850021f6204f2256b9cf in the ChromeDriver starup logs:

Starting ChromeDriver 2.24.417431 (9aea000394714d2fbb20850021f6204f2256b9cf) on port 9515

refers to the commit which is used to build the current version of ChromeDriver.

However, ChromeDriver 2.24.417431 is a pretty old build and you may like to upgrade to the latest ChromeDriver v78.0 level.

Now, using ChromeDriver v78.0.3904.70 the startup log is as follows:

Starting ChromeDriver 78.0.3904.70 (edb9c9f3de0247fd912a77b7f6cae7447f6d3ad5-refs/branch-heads/3904@{#800}) on port 35520

where edb9c9f3de0247fd912a77b7f6cae7447f6d3ad5 is exactly the commit through which version number was incremented to 78.0.3904.70

This is the github version id for the chromedriver in use.
