And that brings us onto the last crackme.
We can also use rz-diff to check for string differences.

Password: The only change is the version info (from 0x08 to 0x09). So let’s check for functions.

`--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------'We can see that a few functions have been changed. So let’s check it out! We can also see that this version strips the symbol names again, but that should be no problem. We can easily identify them using the functions diff.

return 0;
}Looking at main we can see some changes: a new function fcn.08048766 is introduced, and all string addresses have been replaced by offsets to some base address unaff_EBX.
Looking at the functions diff we can see that fcn.08048766 is named __i686.get_pc_thunk.bx. This function is used in position-independent code to get the addresses of global constants (like string constants). Let’s see if we can find out to which strings these offsets resolve to, but let’s first give this new function a name.
[0x08048420]> afn sym.__i686.get_pc_thunk.bx @ fcn.08048766To compute the addresses we can use ESIL. But we need to initialize it first.
[0x08048420]> s main
[0x080486ee]> aei
[0x080486ee]> aeip
[0x080486ee]> aeimNow we can step through the function, and all pointer arithmetic will be simulated! Open the interactive view with v, and then we can step through using the s key to step in and S to step over (this also works when using the debugger).
[0x080486ee]> v
# opens visual mode
# step through by pressing Shift+S until we hit the instruction
# call instruction to printf()Having landed at the call to printf we can now look at what the address in eax points to. Exit visual mode by pressing q.
[0x080486ee]> ar eax
eax = 0x08048869
[0x080486ee]> ps @ 0x08048869
IOLI Crackme Level 0x09We can add this as a comment if we want. This way we don’t have to keep doing this ESIL simulation if we forget what particular string was printed here.

Password:We can continue this until we have identified all strings. Or until our curiosity is sated.
Either way, nothing of note has been added or changed in this version, which means that the password constraints are still the same.
