Welcome to smoak1! ----- In this challenge, the flag is not directly in the binary, but there is a service running on 31334. If you give the right responses, it will show you the flag. To test if you know the algorithm or are just a very good guesser, we implemented two cycles for the check. You can reach the flagservice with nc localhost 31334 The flag is also the password for smoak2. Hints ----- Some things are the same all the time and are worth looking for on the internet.
