EoCE hints

0x0

  • Take note of the stated assumptions.
  • How might you utilize those in coming up with a solution?

0x1

  • Trouble using dd(1)? Try this dd tutorial I wrote.
  • Remember that parts are pieces of a whole
  • Don't read from AND write to the same file at the same time.

0x2

  • Problems with seq(1)?
lab46:~$ seq 1 10
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
  • How about by an offset?
lab46:~$ seq 1 2 10
1
3
5
7
9
  • How about backwards?
lab46:~$ seq 5 -1 0
5

  • How to use in a loop?
for value in `seq 1 2 10`; do
  • Or based on variables?
for value in `seq ${start} ${step} ${stop}`; do
  • What, you mean I could have totally done that back then and saved myself all the hassle I went through?
lab46:~$ # yes
  • Also, some usage examples:
lab46:~$ ./pwn1.sh 12 17 idbase with3 with7

Also, it won't be the end of the world if you don't implement signed. I'm making that particular thing optional.

0x3

  • authorized_keys might be something worth exploring
  • your home directory follows you to the pi's, just as it does to the pods
  • permissions on related files and directories are VERY important

0x4

  • look inside readable text files. Useful information can be had that way.

0x5

  • Some usage examples:
lab46:~$ ./catweek.sh
14
lab46:~$ ./catweek.sh fullname
week14
lab46:~$ ./catweek.sh fullname lastweek
week13
lab46:~$ ./catweek.sh nextweek
15
lab46:~$ ./catweek.sh start=monday
13
lab46:~$ ./catweek.sh start=monday nextweek fullname
week14
lab46:~$ ./catweek.sh 20180402 fullname
break2
lab46:~$ ./catweek.sh 20180402 fullname nobreaks
week11
