# Welcome (re, 96p, 49 solved)
In the challege we get a [virtual machine code](vo-interpreter.c) and a [flag checking program](welcome_task.voprotected.c) implemented on this VM.
We're lazy so before trying to analyse VM or at least translate the challege code to some assembly-like representation, we simply compiled this and run:
```shalom@ubuntu:~/ctf/asis$ ./welcome Usage: program --left <num1> --right <num2>```
We quickly check and it seems the values passed as parameters have to be 0-9, otherwise we get an error.So there are only 100 options to check, not too much.If we pass random values we get:
```shalom@ubuntu:~/ctf/asis$ ./welcome --left 1 --right 2flag iS n0t {thankS f0r participating aSiSctf2ol8}Flag Flag Flag!```
We simply run this in a loop with all possible parameter:`python -c "[[__import__('os').system('echo %d %d;./welcome --left %d --right %d'%(left,right,left,right)) for left in range(10)] for right in range(10)]"`
And we get for example:```9 9flag iS {vvelc0me_and_enj0y_aSiSctf20l8}Flag Flag Flag!```
And the flag is `ASIS{vvelc0me_and_enj0y_aSiSctf20l8}`
