Just found out that Microcorruption, the very fun and educational embedded security CTF, got some new challenges: https://research.nccgroup.com/2022/10/31/check-out-our-new-microcorruption-challenges/ Looks like there are now 6 new ones after Hollywood!

I've picked up #microcorruption, again. Last time I touched it was when the servers went offline and that inspired me to look into ways to play it outside the browser. The necessary parts of the equation:

- An emulator implementing the "syscalls"/callgate
- A debugger/disassembler/assembler toolchain
- All level files

There's several emulators available, along with a matching toolchain. The level files can be copy-pasted from the browser and the hex dump translated to a binary for the emulator. I've been given the remaining level files on #milliways and started translating my solutions so far to Python scripts that automatically solve each level with #pwnlib.

In case you wonder why to bother, this might be the gentlest introduction into binary exploitation, which I consider the black magic discipline in #infosec.
