should be 5 points

In a world of Ones and Zeros , what are YOU? , a 1 or a 0?

Probably the easiest one here alongside the wayback machine.

I used a simple python script.

Input of Binary, Separated in Bytes

binary = "01000011 01010100 01000110 01111011 01000010 01101001 01110100 01011111 01000110 01101100 01101001 01110000 01110000 01101001 01101110 01111101"

Add each item to a list at spaces

binlist = binary.split(" ")

List to Hold Characters

chrlist = []

Loop to convert

for i in binlist: chrlist.append(chr(int(i,2)))

Print The list a joined string

print("".join(chrlist))

just some binary conversion to text by seperating 8 bits. That's all

reverse polarity suggests that the bits are reversed...

We are looking at a binary (base2) digits, which could be either 1 or 0. Though, your system hardware only sees these as high voltage, such as 5 volts and low voltage, which is 0 volts.

A sequence of high and low voltages are called Binary digITS (bits) as given in this challenge.

01000011010101000100011001111011010000100110100101110100010111110100011001101100011010010111000001110000011010010110111001111101

Since we are looking for a flag, we need to map these bits to something readable. American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII), is a character encoding standard for electronic communication. You can look up an ASCII table at http://www.asciitable.com/.

We cannot map bits to ASCII directly, because only decimal, hexadecimal and octal “understand” ASCII, so we convert the bits to hexadecimal. This gives us the following output.

43 54 46 7b 42 69 74 5f 46 6c 69 70 70 69 6e 7d

When you map the hexadecimal values to ASCII, you found the flag.

I simply divided them into sets of eight, so 1000101011000101 would be 10001010 11000101 and that gave me the answer

Very good and detailed explanation. Thanks.

At least the bits could have been flipped.

Really ? 30 points ? Just to paste it in CyberChef and select "From binary" ?

In a world of Ones and Zeros , what are YOU? , a 1 or a 0?

Would have been cooler if you had to flip the bits.

lmao
