# Hashflow
Fun challenge that involved:
* Forging signatures by breaking naive hashing algorithm with z3.* Leaking the stack cookie and a binary address via a stack-based overflow that was guarded by the signature check we can break.* Using the stack-based overflow (and leaked data) to do a short ROP to leak a libc address.* Using the stack-based overflow one more time (with gadgets from the leaked libc) to do a `read`/`write` ROP to print the flag.
