∗∗∗ Solving a VM-based CTF challenge without solving it properly ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
A pretty common reverse-engineering CTF challenge genre for the hard/very-hard bucket are virtual machines. There are several flavors to this*, but the most common one is to implement a custom VM in a compiled language and provide it together with bytecode of a flag checker. This was the case for the More Control task from Byte Bandits CTF 2023 - the task this entry is about.
