nlinks (part a)
quals
A (binary?) ninja cut the chain of flag into many links. Can you put all links together, reassemble the chain, and recover the flags?
- If a link requires a passphrase, the passphrase is the input that the previous link takes.
- To make your life easier, each link will print out its intended ID in the chain -- once you figure out the intended input the link takes.
- The order of the first N binaries is known.
Solve the first N binaries to get the first flag.
