This challenge binary offered a prompt for a storefront, where one of the items for sale is the flag. The only issue is that the flag costs more money than you have. I skimmed the code and it was pretty quickly clear that there was probably an integer overflow bug. I've added `(...)` wherever I omitted some code. ```c++int money = 15;
int purchase(char *item, int cost) {    int amount;    printf("How many %s would you like to buy?\n", item);    printf("> ");    scanf("%d", &amount);
    if (amount > 0) {        cost *= amount;        printf("That'll cost $%d.\n", cost);        if (cost <= money) {            puts("Thanks for your purchse!");            money -= cost;        } else {            puts("Sorry, but you don't have enough money.");            puts("Sucks to be you I guess.");            amount = 0;        }    } else {        puts("I'm sorry, but we don't put up with pranksters.");        puts("Please buy something or leave.");    }
    return amount;}
int main() {    int input;
    setbuf(stdout, NULL);    setbuf(stdin, NULL);    setbuf(stderr, NULL);
	(...)    while (1) {		(...)        puts("5) BCA© school merch: $20.00");        puts("6) Flag: $100.00");        puts("0) Leave");        puts("");        printf("You currently have $%d.\n", money);        puts("What would you like to buy?");
        printf("> ");        scanf("%d", &input);
        switch (input) {			(...)            case 5:                purchase("wonderfully-designed t-shirts", 20);                break;            case 6:                if (purchase("super-cool ctf flags", 100) > 0) {                    FILE *fp = fopen("flag.txt", "r");                    char flag[100];
                    if (fp == NULL) {                        puts("[If you are seeing this on the remote server, please contact admin].");                        exit(1);                    }
                    fgets(flag, sizeof(flag), fp);                    puts(flag);                }                break;            default:                puts("Sorry, please select a valid option.");        }    }}
```
You get to input two numbers: *what you would like to buy*, and the *amount* of them that you'd like. There's not much flexibility in the first number entered, and the latter can't be set to a negative number. However, `money` is just an `int`, not an `unsigned int`, which means the leftmost bit is reserved for signaling whether `money` is positive or negative. if `cost * amount` is big enough, it'll flip that bit and the result will become negative.
