HTB - Reversing: Maze

Unpacking a PyInstaller challenge, chaining hidden stage credentials, and solving a final checker based on sliding 3-byte sum constraints to recover the flag.

HTB - Reversing: Hexecution

Reversing a tiny custom DSL interpreter, extracting the 32-byte target table, and inverting two deterministic permutations to recover the flag input.

HTB - Reversing: vvm

Reversing a custom VM verifier by recovering opcode behavior, unpacking byte-index shuffles, and inverting rotate-based checks to reconstruct the 32-byte password.

HTB - Reversing: Wayback

Reproducing time-seeded password generation and brute-forcing a narrow historical window to recover the AES key and decrypt the flag.
