Solution
After opening this binary up in Ghidra we can see that there’s an encoded text and that the flag gets written out to us after we put in the correct password. However, I quickly noticed that the flag reading function does involve the guess that we input. Taking a closer look at the flag decoding routine, it’s just grabbing every other letter of the string.
I just used a pencil and paper to write every other letter since the string was fairly short. I still don’t know what their favorite breakfast cereal is.
