-====Forbidden tools==== 
  
-For the purposes of this project, you are not permitted to use any hex editing tools (hexdump, bvi, etc.) to assist you in producing the solution. Any steps relying in any part on the use of these tools will see credit lost. The aim of this project is to test your low-level data manipulation and calculation skills. 
- 
-You are also forbidden from using any external-to-the-system translation tools (like hex/dec/oct calculators on the web). You must perform any and all calculations using tools on lab46 (and explain your usage of them in your list of instructions!). 
- 
-You can certainly use other tools to help you in better determining your steps to solution.
