I'm having trouble with the password for phase_4 of my binary bomb.
So far, I understand... the inputs must be 2 integers (line 29)
and the second integer should <= than or equal to 2 when 2 is subtracted from it (lines 38-44). Which means it should be a number 2-4
Then, it calls func4, and compares the output of func4 to rsp (which I've done some testing and rsp is always 0) so i need to find a number that returns 0 when inputed into func4.
Whats confusing me is: if the result of func4 needs to be 0, that means it's input should be 0. Taking into account line 38 in phase_4 where it subtracts 2 from my input, that should mean my second # should be 2...? However I have tried that and it makes it explode in line 46 as it doesn't satisfy the first comparison.
I have tried numbers like (0 2) (2 0) (0 1) (0 3) and they all failed. Any suggestions to point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Then, it calls func4, and compares the output of func4 to rsp (which I've done some testing and rsp is always 0) so i need to find a number that returns 0 when inputed into func4.
This is incorrect. The output of func4
is compared with [rsp + 8]
, in which the first number was stored.
If we write the desired input as (a, b)
, then we have a = func4 (7, b)
and 2 <= b <= 4
.
To understand what func4 (x, y)
does I recommend that you convert it to C. See my answer to this question for an illustration.
