Fifty Shades of White (Junior)

intro reverse linux x86/x64 FCSC 2024 solved on

Description

The famous Walter White wrote a program for himself allowing him to restrict access to his “professional” data. He distributes licenses sparingly, but you’ve managed to obtain one that he generated for his son! His system offers two levels of licenses: the one you obtained is the less privileged one, and you aim to acquire an “admin” license.

The attached program checks, among other things, the privilege level of the license. It will reward you if you present an “admin” license.

L’abus d’alcool est dangereux pour la santé.
