int main(int argc, char* argv[]){
char *bin=(char *)malloc(5);

You need to unravel the logic that this program is checking against in order to get to the call_me() function!, simply need to input the right values that will correctly decode the logic and pass the checks. XOR TRUTH TABLE

0000

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]=0x31 XOR_string byte =0xef Resulting XORbius =0x000000de
Iteration 1: buffer[203]=0x13 XOR_string byte =0xbe Resulting XORbius =0x0000dead
Iteration 2: buffer[205]=0x73 XOR_string byte =0xad Resulting XORbius =0x00deadde
Iteration 3: buffer[207]=0x31 XOR_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.
