I am currently trying to finish my binary bomb project. I am currently stuck in the second phase.
I've already checked and found out that the password to defuse this phase of the bomb requires 3 inputs to pass, and that it's comparing them in byte format(so it's checking the characters). My problem is in actually putting in the password. simply put, I'm pretty sure I know the right code to pass, but most of the time it leads me to call the bomb explosion function.
08048bab <phase_2>:
8048bab: 55 push %ebp
8048bac: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp
8048bae: 83 ec 08 sub $0x8,%esp
8048bb1: 8b 45 08 mov 0x8(%ebp),%eax
8048bb4: 80 38 6c cmpb $0x6c,(%eax)
8048bb7: 75 0c jne 8048bc5 <phase_1+0x1a>
8048bb9: 80 78 01 3c cmpb $0x3c,0x1(%eax)
8048bbd: 75 06 jne 8048bc5 <phase_1+0x1a>
8048bbf: 80 78 02 37 cmpb $0x37,0x2(%eax)
8048bc3: 74 05 je 8048bca <phase_1+0x1f>
8048bc5: e8 3e 02 00 00 call 8048e08 <blow_up_bomb>
8048bca: c9 leave
8048bcb: c3 ret
The values they're comparing in this case(from my knowledge) are the letter 'l', the symbol '<', and the number '7'.
the inputs I tried were:
l<7
7<l
7 < l
l < 7
I'm pretty confused as it is. What exactly am I doing wrong that is causing the 'bomb' function? Is there another way of writing the input?
