#3That's some impressive work. But then...
"The company send me another crack me for round 2 :) That's also interesting.."
That wasn't enough to get the job?

#5Really nice overview of the process. I was hoping to get into debugging and breaking code, but my career took a wild turn away from that part of the job. It's still something I would like to learn, so I'm reading as much about it as I can.
I'm going to take this way off topic here, but it's a curiosity of mine. Please don't take this as an insult; it seems to be very common and as a language learner myself I'm just wondering where it comes from.
At first , it looks...
analyze.Lets...
debugger.Therefore , there...
mode.In my opinion , Intel...
So , those lines will basically scan the memory , if there is a 0xCC , it will crash your program and such ...
Specifically in these examples, I'm seeing a missing space between a period and the next word, as well as a space before a comma. As English is one of my native languages, I'm not sure how people go about learning English or what resources are available to anyone learning English.
I've noticed this with a lot of English as a second language speakers, and it doesn't seem to matter what their original language is. In this case, Spanish, but I've seen native Russian and Japanese speakers with the same thing. Can anyone tell me why this is?

Haha, if that's the one I remember you could completely trivialize that lab by fiddling with the program counter in gdb (skipping the line that sets off the bomb). Don't know if they were able to fix that in later versions of the lab. Good times, thanks for reminding me.

poor grammar instruction in school. A space is normally after a period even in russian.

As far as I know, punctuation association rules are the same in all indo-european languages. Most of them bind to the left and have a space to the right. Emdash, and ... have two spaces, and endash and apostrophe have no spaces.
But people struggle with this. I distinctly remembering practicing this in class when prepping for matura (Slovenian version of SATs) so I guess it isn't inherently obvious to everyone.

#9> Here is the first thing i typed in the terminal
root@lisa:~# ./CrackTheDoor
Um. I see at least one security issue already.

Those labs (specifically the binary bomb, buffer bomb, and malloc) were probably the most influential projects I ever did in terms of my career development. Great fun.
