CactusCon Reverse Engineering Challenges

Salutations fellow readers. I hope some of you saw me speak on JoeCrypter last week at CactusCon. As for the slides from my talk, you can view them here.

For those who don’t know, I wrote the reverse engineering challenges this year for the CTF. Most of them were solved, but not all. Perhaps some of you would like a crack at it? Give it a go: https://gironsec.com/cactuscon_re_challenges/index.php

I will be posting the answers in a couple of weeks. For now though, please enjoy the challenges.

Happy cracking!

  1. Hey, nice challenges but are you sure the “check answer” on your page is working (challenge 2 ff.)?

    Cheers,
    Nick

    1. I’ll be posting the answers this week. Answer to #2 should be ‘Waxing my car will not result in expert karate training’

  2. Ok, I have most of the answers. Just checking them with that website is not working……

    PS: in one flag is a “typo” ??? 🙂

  3. Do you think reverse engineering is harder when someone uses a crypter such as Sheikh Crypter or xProtect from hxxps://www.buycrypter.com?

    1. Crypters are only a minor setback. Everything needs to be decrypted to run properly in the CPU. All I have to do is capture the exe when its decrypted and dump.
