My capture-the-flag team played in the Insomni'hack teaser this year. During the
competition, I worked on a single challenge titled "sapeloshop." It was labeled
as "Medium-Hard," and it was in the binary exploitation category. The source
code for the server wasn't provided, so reverse engineering was necessary. I
don't think that having to reverse the binary was supposed to be the hard part,
as most of the behavior could have been inferred through some high-level
analysis, yet I spent nearly fiv
