char name[12];
void call_me(){
printf("call_me()function was called!
");
}
void unsafe(){
char buffer[420];
int characters_read;
u_int32_t XORbius =0; //Ensure XORbius is initialized to 0
u_int32_t XOR_string =0xdeadbeef;

characters_read =read(0,buffer,420);
//Loop to construct XORbius byte-by-byte with debug output
for (int i =0; i <4; i++){
XORbius =XORbius <<8; //Shift XORbius by 8bits for the next byte
u_int8_t buffer_byte =(unsigned char)buffer[201+(i *2)];
u_int32_t xor_byte =(XOR_string >>(i *8))& 0xFF;
XORbius |=(buffer_byte ^xor_byte);
//Debug statements to observe values at each step
printf("Iteration %d:

printf("buffer[%d]=0x%02x
",201+(i *2),buffer_byte);
printf("XOR_string byte =0x%02x

printf("Resulting XORbius =0x%08x

}
//Final check
if (XORbius ==0xdeadbeef){
call_me();
}else {
printf("XORbius did not match 0xdeadbeef, it was 0x%08x
",XORbius);
}
}
int main(int argc, char*argv[]){
char *bin=(char *)malloc(5);
strcpy(bin,&argv[0][strlen(argv[0])-4]);
if (strcmp(bin,"flag")!=0){

return 0;
}
You need to unravel the logic that this program is checking against in order to get to the call_me()function!,simplyneed to input the right values that will correctly decode the logic and pass the checks.
XOR TRUTH TABLE
A B Result
000
011

110
XOR Operations are REVERSIBLE, meaning that performing the same XOR operation on a number twice will end up with the original number!
Example:
0b11110000^0b00001111=0b11111111
0b11111111^0b00001111=0b11110000
in Hex notation
0xF0^0x0F =0xFF
0xFF ^0x0F =0xF0
I tried this payload in my python file : payload =b"A"*201+b"\x31"+b"A"+b"\x13"+b"A"+b"\x73"+b"A"+b"\x31"+b"A"*(420-209)
Iteration 0: buffer[201]=0x31XOR_string byte =0xef Resulting XORbius =0x000000de
Iteration 1: buffer[203]=0x13XOR_string byte =0xbe Resulting XORbius =0x0000dead
Iteration 2: buffer[205]=0x73XOR_string byte =0xad Resulting XORbius =0x00deadde
Iteration 3: buffer[207]=0x31XOR_string byte =0xde Resulting XORbius =0xdeaddeef XORbius did not match 0xdeadbeef, it was 0xdeaddeef
Please don't use the solution that is already here in Chegg it didn't work and don't use AI,I have already tried.
