Reversing
The Obfuscated Check
MediumPuzzle
A login page validates the password in JavaScript (never do this). The check is below. Work out the password it accepts — that's the flag.
function check(p) {
if (p.length !== 26) return false;
const x = [...p].map(c => c.charCodeAt(0) ^ 0x2a);
const want = [100,111,122,105,95,89,93,65,95,65,89,95,67,65,119,89,91,65,95,82,65,106,65,95,67,71];
return x.every((v, i) => v === want[i]);
}
(The real flag matches the pattern NEPSEC{...} once you reverse the XOR.)
