🦙 < Let's try reading what the ELF binary does!

Beginner Hint
  • This challenge is in the Rev (Reverse Engineering) category.
  • Flag checkers are a common theme in Rev problems.
  • A flag checker executable or script accepts player input and tells you whether it matches the flag.
  • The provided file is the ELF binary read-a-binary.
  • The goal is to find an input (the flag) that makes the binary print Correct! by analyzing the binary.
  • There are a variety of tools available that can analyze ELF binaries.
  • Some tools can show a higher level of representations than others.
