cnathansmith on 2024-01-25 00:28: There's another function that prints the flag and a buffer overflow that's possible, but ASLR is enabled and I couldn't find any way to leak an address to construct an input that would trigger it.
Obv you can just find the flag in the strings but I didn't think that was the point.
rootpalladium on 2024-01-27 08:52: [+] FLAG{B3ST_R3V3RS3R} i got this by "string exefile | less"
I think it is right
MHanak on 2024-01-30 21:12: i am a total beginner i know but if this is 0.2 above just opening a file in hex editor i am concerned about the scale reaching 6
cnathansmith on 2024-02-01 07:30: @MHanak You can run strings on it to get the flag, and the false flags are retrievable just from checking the memcmp arguments. My final solution overcomplicated it just because I saw an opportunity to do so and get an interesting result, but it wasn't strictly necessary.
The difficulty ratings also tend to be fairly arbitrary. Just keep at it and push yourself to dig deep into anything you don't understand, and keep trying out different tools as you learn about them to understand what works best for you in different situations, and you'll be tearing into things left and right. It's just a lot of information to digest upfront.

codepin on 2024-04-19 07:54: when i followed the steps outline in the solution posted by @cnathansmith; i got this error message::
'''

EOFError
'''
So i found out that the EOFerror comes up when there is nothing, no login nor password, received by the stream.
I tried replacing the recvuntil() with the recvall() method to see if its not because of conflicting delimiters; os and the one provided for recvuntil.
i got this error:
'''

b''
'''
According to this error, nothing is received from the process.
May you please help me to fix this, please!!
