Flare-On 11

Any tips with ch#7?

Spoiler

I am able to fully communicate with the server. Tried some PH code but it doesn't work. I see people saying they did it too and suddenly understood something but I just don't.

Any hint of how to start with #5, i see in the backtrace the stack look corrupted. I don't know how to fix and continue on it.

As another one said, look for the cause of the crash (when and where), the backtrace may be the starting point, there are another commands: "info proc mapping" and "info registers" that shows interesting stuff.

I would like to help you but I am still on ch7...

Spoiler

I got the symbols, I did a functional server, but dealing with the code, I am guessing if it is related with some weak random function...
Unfortunately, I could start the entire challenge very late (like two weeks ago) and there is no much time left.
Any nudge would be very appreciated!

i would like to at least get to 9 before closing. can someone give me a hand with this damn ch8?

Spoiler

i've reached the final step. i have the final script, the one that does the xor and writes to disk, but i don't understand how to use it. i can't figure out how to replenish the placeholders that are there (address, block, ...). i've tried all the combinations with the data i had so far but nothing...

Thank you very much for the write ups. It was interesting to read how you went about the solutions, particularly challenge nine, I think your method was a different tack most people would have made. Great effort... 👍
