The random number generator mechanic was cool and all, but the final solution felt underwhelming. It's anticlimactic to see a crackme with such an interesting premise resolve with something as basic as a simple length comparison between the username and password. At the time of writing, this crackme has a quality rating of 5.5/6.0, which in my opinion is completely unjustified. |

SOLUTION IN PYTHON3:
def calculate_soul_signature(username):
soul_signature = 0x1505
for character in username:
soul_signature = ord(character) + soul_signature * 0x21
return soul_signature & 0xffffffff
soul_signature = calculate_soul_signature(input("[-] ENTER USERNAME: "))
print(f"[*] CALCULATED SOUL SIGNATURE: {hex(soul_signature)}")
print("[*] FLUX CAPACITOR INPUT: 132")
print("[*] RIDDLE ANSWER: tomorrow")
print(f"[*] FINAL KEY: {(soul_signature ^ 0x2026) * 132}")
