    • +
  • The returned value is compared with 0x2, if they are not equal then the program jumps to call <explode_bomb>. This tells us that func4 should return 2.
    • +
+ +

Let us look into func4

+ +
(gdb) disas func4

+   0x00005555555557d1 <+56>:    jmp    0x5555555557b4 <func4+27>
+
+ +

This looks like a recursive function :( (I hate recursive functions)

+ +

Let's annotate the instructions.

+ +
endbr64
+sub $0x8,%rsp  // subtract 8 bytes from the stack pointer
+mov %edx,%ecx  // Move the value in register %edx to %ecx
+sub %esi,%ecx  // Subtract the value in %esi from %ecx
+shr %ecx       // Right shift the value in %ecx by one bit (dividing the value by 2)
+add %esi,%ecx  // Add the value in %esi to %ecx
+cmp %edi,%ecx  // Compare
+ja 0x5555555557b9 <func4+32> // If %ecx > %edi -> jump to instruction at offset +32
+mov $0x0,%eax  // Move 0 to %eax
+jb 0x5555555557c5 <func4+44> // If %ecx < %edi -> jump to instruction at offset +44.
+add $0x8,%rsp  // add 8 bytes to the stack pointer
+ret            // return
+lea -0x1(%rcx),%edx // LEA of $rxc - 1 into $edx
+call 0x555555555799 <func4> // Call itself
+add %eax,%eax  // Double the value in %eax
+jmp 0x5555555557b4 <func4+27> // jump to the instruction at offset +27
+lea 0x1(%rcx),%esi
+call 0x555555555799 <func4>
+lea 0x1(%rax,%rax,1),%eax // LEA of %rax * 2 + 1 into $eax 
+jmp 0x5555555557b4 <func4+27>
+
+ +

We can either try to compute the values by hand, or write a simple script in Python to get the answer.

+ +
def func4(edi, esi=0, edx=20):
+    ecx = (edx - esi) // 2 + esi
+    if ecx > edi:
+        return 2 * func4(edi, esi, ecx - 1)
+    elif ecx < edi:
+        return 2 * func4(edi, ecx + 1, edx) + 1
+    else:
+        return 0
+
+for x in range(10):
+   if func4(x) == 2:
+      print(f"answer is {x}")
+      break
+
+ +

Running this code, we get: answer is 5

+ +

Okay, so we know that the number needed to be passed to func4 is 5. But, what about the second digit?

+ +

If we go back to the code for <phase_4>, we can see that:

+ +
   0x000055555555581f <+76>:    cmpl   $0x2,0x8(%rsp)
+   0x0000555555555824 <+81>:    je     0x55555555582b <phase_4+88>
+
+ +

The value at $rsp+8 should be equal to 2. So, let us try passing 5 2 as our input.

+ +
...
+Phase 1 defused. How about the next one?
+That's number 2.  Keep going!
+Halfway there!
+5 2
+
+Breakpoint 1, 0x00005555555557d3 in phase_4 ()

+Continuing.
+So you got that one.  Try this one.

      • The returned value is compared with 0x2, if they are not equal then the program jumps to call <explode_bomb>. This tells us that func4 should return 2.
        • +
      + +

      Let us look into func4

      + +
      (gdb) disas func4
+Dump of assembler code for function func4:

+   0x00005555555557cd <+52>:    lea    0x1(%rax,%rax,1),%eax
+   0x00005555555557d1 <+56>:    jmp    0x5555555557b4 <func4+27>
+
      + +

      This looks like a recursive function :( (I hate recursive functions)

      + +

      Let's annotate the instructions.

      + +
      endbr64
+sub $0x8,%rsp  // subtract 8 bytes from the stack pointer
+mov %edx,%ecx  // Move the value in register %edx to %ecx
+sub %esi,%ecx  // Subtract the value in %esi from %ecx
+shr %ecx       // Right shift the value in %ecx by one bit (dividing the value by 2)
+add %esi,%ecx  // Add the value in %esi to %ecx
+cmp %edi,%ecx  // Compare
+ja 0x5555555557b9 <func4+32> // If %ecx > %edi -> jump to instruction at offset +32
+mov $0x0,%eax  // Move 0 to %eax
+jb 0x5555555557c5 <func4+44> // If %ecx < %edi -> jump to instruction at offset +44.
+add $0x8,%rsp  // add 8 bytes to the stack pointer
+ret            // return
+lea -0x1(%rcx),%edx // LEA of $rxc - 1 into $edx
+call 0x555555555799 <func4> // Call itself
+add %eax,%eax  // Double the value in %eax
+jmp 0x5555555557b4 <func4+27> // jump to the instruction at offset +27
+lea 0x1(%rcx),%esi
+call 0x555555555799 <func4>
+lea 0x1(%rax,%rax,1),%eax // LEA of %rax * 2 + 1 into $eax 
+jmp 0x5555555557b4 <func4+27>
+
      + +

      We can either try to compute the values by hand, or write a simple script in Python to get the answer.

      + +
      def func4(edi, esi=0, edx=20):
+    ecx = (edx - esi) // 2 + esi
+    if ecx > edi:
+        return 2 * func4(edi, esi, ecx - 1)
+    elif ecx < edi:
+        return 2 * func4(edi, ecx + 1, edx) + 1
+    else:
+        return 0
+
+for x in range(10):
+   if func4(x) == 2:
+      print(f"answer is {x}")
+      break
+
      + +

      Running this code, we get: answer is 5

      + +

      Okay, so we know that the number needed to be passed to func4 is 5. But, what about the second digit?

      + +

      If we go back to the code for <phase_4>, we can see that:

      + +
         0x000055555555581f <+76>:    cmpl   $0x2,0x8(%rsp)
+   0x0000555555555824 <+81>:    je     0x55555555582b <phase_4+88>
+
      + +

      The value at $rsp+8 should be equal to 2. So, let us try passing 5 2 as our input.

      + +
      ...
+Phase 1 defused. How about the next one?
+That's number 2.  Keep going!
+Halfway there!
+5 2
+
+Breakpoint 1, 0x00005555555557d3 in phase_4 ()
+(gdb) continue
+Continuing.
+So you got that one.  Try this one.
