input2

Mom? how can I pass my input to a computer program?

File properties

input2@ubuntu:~$ file ./input2
./input2: setgid ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, BuildID[sha1]=b74679bb85f0f41f9d4c22dc274ca11d6b62b460, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, not stripped

This time we are dealing with a little-endian 64-bit ELF executable.

This challenge performs multiple checks:

1. Arguments:

   • There should be 99 arguments passed to the challenge, excluding the binary executable's name.
   • The argument at position A (ASCII 65) should be \x00.
   • The argument at position B (ASCII 66) should be \x20\x0a\x0d.
