Howdy hackers! Hope your week 4 is going well. Tonight Cameron introduced Reversed Engineering (“Rev”) challenges and how to pwn them. Rev and pwn challenges are a staple of CTF competitions, and we covered a few of the most critical tools in your arsenal for approaching them. We also walked you through an introductory pwn challenge called rev01 that is hosted on our CTF Practice Range. We hope you were able to walk away with some new skills.

The slides for the meeting are available here (ONID required): https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1muZ2NoANPFD2ysk1QscMxl6qo8bAzM1nVBNcnc20rGk/edit?usp=sharing
