QuickScan is a challenge from the 2024 HackTheBox Syber Apocalypse CTF. I'm given ELF binaries as a base64 encoded string. Each one loads 24 bytes onto the stack and exits. I need to get that value and return it 129 times in less than 2 minutes to get the flag. I'll do some basic reverse engineering in gdb and Ghidra, and then use Python and PwnTools to interact with the server, get the bianry, decode it, locate the buffer, read it, and send it back.
