Task: Holiday workshop binary with a helper registration system where the wish field in a 136-byte structure can overflow into the adjacent structure. Solution: Registered two helpers, overflowed the first helper's wish field (75 bytes + p32(1)) to overwrite the second helper's is_santa flag, then logged in as the promoted helper to access the flag.
