SaturdayMP Show 66: picoCTF Format String 2 (Solved in One Long Video)

https://youtu.be/3dNMOff-Gp0

In this episode I solve the @picoCTF Format String 2 problem in my longest video yet. Jump right to the end if you want to see the solution which used pwntools.

I think it gave me the knowledge to solve Format String 3, which I haven't solved yet: https://youtu.be/AT8w2fsgzsA. That said, I'm still struggling to picture the layout of variables on the stack.

SaturdayMP Show 65: Something's Rotten at the Gilded Rose: A Python Refactoring Tale

https://youtu.be/CzHv3uY2KiU

In this episode I tackle the famous Gilded Rose Kata as practice for my upcoming Dev Edmonton JavaScript, Python & Ruby Meetup presentation. One of the great things about the Gilded Rose Kata is the different ways to "solve" it. What would have done different than me?

SaturdayMP Show 64: picoCTF Format String 3 (Part 1 - Watch me Fail)

https://youtu.be/AT8w2fsgzsA

In this episode you can watch me fail to solve the picoCTF Format String 3 problem. My lack of low-level programming is highlighted in this video as I struggle with the C printf exploits and how to read memory. Any tips for me without spoon feeding me the solution?

SaturdayMP Show 60: Advent of Code 2024 (Day 2)

In this episode I solve the Advent of Code 2024 Day 2 problem. I solve it using Python, a language I'm not very familiar with. I did learn that Python lists allow negative indexing. Do people use negative indexing often?
