Gambler's Fallacy
uoftctf2026
Task: Casino game using Python's random.getrandbits(32) for server seeds, where the flag costs more money than the starting balance. Solution: Collected 624 server seeds to fully recover the Mersenne Twister state using randcrack, predicted the next seed, found a winning client_seed via brute force, then bet with minimal greed for a 49.5x multiplier to buy the flag.
