Daily "Pace Car" Problems (Optional Extra Credit problems: do 20 to skip Project 3)

I'll try to release an interesting topical problem each class. These help you keep pace with the mastery tasks.

PCP1: Write, compile, execute a C program to solve https://projecteuler.net/problem=25

PCP2: (little tougher) firstchecker

PCP3: findtheflag

PCP4: (IMPORTANT) Mastery A and B in one: Learn To See/C

PCP5: A Python Reverse

PCP6: Write a crackme for your fellow students and solve one student crackme.

PCP7: Just for fun: Esolang Reverse?

PCP8: Solve the first of the 0-hero problems at https://sec.prof.ninja/challenge/, you'll just say "got it" in the discord, maybe your pwntools script.

PCP9:Live one: baby.zip at nc 207.154.239.148 7313

PCP10: LIVE ONE! Hackme.zip running at nc 207.154.239.148 1337

PCP11: LIVE ONE! decaf 32-bit also in args.zip running at nc 207.154.239.148 1339

PCP12: LIVE ONE! decaf64 in args.zip running at nc 207.154.239.148 1338

PCP13: Solve ROPEmporium callme32 you can say "got it" with spoilered script or some other proof.

PCP14: Haikus Hit Different Crack baby_boi but instead of a shell have your payload print a haiku to the screen, just to practice jumping around.

PCP15: LIVE ONE! pltme running at nc 207.154.239.148 1341

PCP18: (SUPER CHALLENGE) LIVE ONE! birdz.zip running at nc 207.154.239.148 1989

PCP19: RESET/SIMPLE ONE! Run either of the two scripts from class using gdb with pwndbg and after a malloc vis the heap, take a screenshot and share.

PCP20: RESET #2 Use the playground code from class and generate a leak using Use-After-Free. Use pwndbg to identify what you leaked. Extra points if it is a glibc leak.

PCP21: RESET #3 Use patchelf to link your playground to a glibc with safe-linking and one without, capture a screenshot of both types of leaks (one encrypted one unencrypted)

PCP22: LIVE ONE! tcache.zip is running at nc 207.154.239.148 1344

PCP24: CONCEPTUAL: suppose you need to get a CHUNK where you can UAF into the largebins, make a pseudo-code script to leak from the largebins rather than the unsorted bin.
