Defusing the Binary Bomb


Looking for the “secret defusion phrases” for the binary bomb project? I’m not going to just spit them out for you.  What is the challenge in just typing in the answers?  Despite an earlier post about the binary bomb when I took a Computer Architecture class, you will not find the answers here.

To solve it, you can do the same thing I did: disassemble the binary and use the debugger.  Be sure to set a breakpoint so that you won’t set off the bomb accidentally.  As long as you’ve got that breakpoint set, you’ll never lose any points.  Step through the assembly code line by line and try to figure out how the input is manipulated.
