Task: ELF binary with anti-debug protection that encrypts a flag using XOR with position-dependent key and ROL-3 bit rotation. Solution: Reversed the algorithm (ROR-3 then XOR with 0x67+i), discovered a SAR vs SHR compiler bug that broke verification, and patched the binary to confirm the correct decrypted flag.
