TAMUctf 2026 – challenge7 Challenge Writeup

challenge7 is a reverse engineering challenge from TAMUctf 2026. The challenge provides a stripped ELF binary. The binary implements a custom virtual machine (VM) that dynamically constructs executable code in memory, performs multi-stage anti-tampering checks, and validates user input through a cryptographic hash-and-compare pipeline combined with a dedicated flag-checking function. The flag format is gigem{...} with exactly…
