Lab 9: Macro Polo

Hello all,

I am working on the new 3 labs from October 20th however I am not a really good coding person haha, I tried to analyze the macro_polo.nim and I was able to find a few flags but all of them wrong.

In case anyone has already completed it, would you mind sharing a hint?

Thanks!

      Unless I'm missing something the pre-recorded video is not shown on that page for me!

    I'm pretty hard stuck on this one as well. I'm assuming it has to do with finding the right keys to decode the encodedFragments but there's some string of macros that probably needs to be done that I can't really figure out either. 

    I've tried brute forcing the astWalker to get a number of values but I still am unsure what triangularCheck/crypticSum/hauntedTransform are actually for.

    I was able to get it to generate FLAG's with Steps though my combination isnt the answer. So back to the drawing board.

    I was able to find the safe numbers and the name (Q3) but I'm currently not sure what I have to do with the encoded Fragments. They confuse me and the hint even much more :) 
    but maybe it's time to get some sleep and then start over :)
