```nc 52.88.137.165 8000Welcome to Sheldon Cooper presents "Fun with Bins"In the first episode, we're going to have fun reversing simple binariesI will send you a random binary. To pass the stage, you'll need to give me the input to reach the "Yes" condition.Lets get started

On each round we get a binary, if we copy it to a file and give it appropriate permissions we can run it.
The program asks for input and prints Nope but we need it to print Yes.
By firing up IDA, we can take a look at the main function:```cint __cdecl main(int argc, const char **argv, const char **envp){  int result; // eax@4  __int64 v4; // rcx@4  char *s1; // [sp+8h] [bp-78h]@1  char s[104]; // [sp+10h] [bp-70h]@1  __int64 v7; // [sp+78h] [bp-8h]@1
  v7 = *MK_FP(__FS__, 40LL);  s1 = "eb89da5ea3bb2ff43f64e800792e852cae68069623e66e9df8e805eef74a7d99e97e6842a6";  fgets(s, 100, stdin);  s[strlen(s) - 1] = 0;  if ( !strncmp(s1, s, 0x64uLL) )    puts("Yes");  else    puts("Nope");  result = 0;  v4 = *MK_FP(__FS__, 40LL) ^ v7;  return result;}```
The string it uses to compare with the user input and return Yes is the 17th (or sometimes 18th) line returned with `strings bin.a`, where bin.a is the binary provided.
This repeats for 31 rounds, after correctly guessing the last one, the flag is returned.
###PayloadThe payload was written in python```from pwn import *from time import sleep
