Thanks! This was a fun challenge to create.

This problem is loosely based on this example from LiveOverflow on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VroEiMOJPm8

It's not so easy for beginners.

A smart challenge for beginners, with more than one way to be solved. Nice job, kcbowhunter!

do not try to get the flag in a few minutes, take your time to know what is happening... step by step

This was my first ever RE challenge and it was awesome thank you!

Glad you liked it... I tried to design it for people new to Reversing. Thanks for solving it!

You're welcome :-)
