Description
You’ve just run across an old program, seemingly innocent at first. It asks for a password, and if you enter it correctly, you might think you've won. But there's more lurking beneath the surface. Something about this challenge doesn’t add up.
The program not only demands the correct password, but also a secret code—one that isn’t easily discovered. Is it hidden within the code? Or perhaps something you’ll have to figure out for yourself?

this was good.
flag -- CTFlearn{W4s_1T_Th4T_H4rd?}
pass -- Sup3rS3cr3tP455W0rd
code -- 1337
you can also find the pass using strings command

basmannetjeee on 12:14 AM 02/04/2025: From a complete beginner's standpoint: I found the password and code but am *completely* stuck on how to find the flag. Any guidance? P.S great quality, really makes this a lot more doable
basmannetjeee on 12:30 AM 02/04/2025: Nvm - did it!
Casually left out 2/3 of the flag lmfao

Veazamir on 4:10 AM 02/23/2025: Thank you for the challenge, I very much enjoyed it. I had a blast trying to understand how the flag was made - XOR and pointer arithmetic behind the flag array.

│ ┌─ wa "jne 0x1270"
./babyrev
