ASM cracking

I stalled this question until I opened enough nodes on the map. The site covers a lot of the popular hacking challenge fields, but why aren't there any ASM cracking challenges? Where the challenge is retrieving a password from reverse engineering an exe with for example ollydbg. There are some challenges that have ASM code, but I thought those types of challenges would also be interesting.
I thought these challenges would naturally occur after the HVM challenges. Is there a specific reason why those types of challenges are omitted?

Maeda Path -> Number Theory -> One Function may be of interest to you.

I guess there aren't more simply because people haven't submitted them, it could also be because they have been rejected - platform dependency + arbitrary code execution could be grounds for rejection. There are also plenty of CrackMes on the web so there isn't a particular need for more on here.

I wonder if adum still accepts new challenges. The last one who "solved" this challenge was credited two years ago. While I'm at it: Is BitBath still alive?
