Not Smaller Yet

I have been stuck on this one for years. I haven't got the faintest clue where to start.
Could someone spare a clue?

After disassambling it with ndisasm, and a few failed attempts of rewriting it in C I just followed the old reverse engineering technique: "Just run it, but beware that it might be a malware" * slap the main and jmp labels to the disassambled code * recompile with nasm using elf64 * link w...

I see your point, even though the rank on the challenges section wouldn't be your actual rank. I think you could speed up your code by avoiding to trigger multiple repaints. Take a look at this: (function() { if(location.href.substr(-7) !== "top.php"){ return; } // var date = Date.now(); v...

Well, it seems that we can reach adum. If there is someone from Scottsdale Arizona you can even actually knock on his door. These details were found by a simple whois search. I am from Romania, but I am planning on going to HOPE in 2016 (if there will be a HOPE in 2016) so maybe we will meet there. ...

@avrrobot I hope that adum will remember about this place and he will get back. And i meant that literally because i would like to meet him in person and talk face to face about this. I mean really wouldn't you want the same ? To be able to at least have a beer with some of us? Let's call it a summe...

I would like to know if we could gather 5 - 10 of us and bring this place up again. New design, one-page application. New API for the challenges system and for the games. And how exactly would you install this without adum being involved? I am sure we can track him down. I would prefer to first hav...

I would like to know if we could gather 5 - 10 of us and bring this place up again. New design, one-page applicatio...

There are two parameters, not three. Why they are apparently named "parameter 2" and "parameter 3" in the error text, I have not the slightest idea. Might just be a misnomer. Or a hint. Who knows. There are actually 3 parameters $image, $x and $y. Probably this is a hint ( so pl...

I wasn't talking about those kind of errors. For certain values the page always returns errors in the "imagecolorat" function for the 2nd if the first input is a letter for e.g. and at the 3rd parameter if the 2nd input is a letter.

If i get the error from the line 22 for the 2nd and 3rd parameter it means that i am on the right track and all i have to do is to find out what is the 12 numbers represent? Probably it's something like an rgbaxy from 3 sources?

Does it have anything to do with the fact that they were L.S.D. consumers? And following the same pattern could solve this?
