Welcome back to the 15th iteration of this blog series. In this series, we’re growing our cybersecurity knowledge starting from the very basics using the overthewire.org challenges as a guide. First, I’d like to thank everyone for their feedback based on the last post! I’ll do my best to implement it and as always, more feedback is always welcome.

The Leviathan challenges are more complex and multi-stepped and I thought that working through the challenge through a video will be better as a walkthrough. Now let’s start!

In today’s challenge, we explore some basic reverse engineering. The question is often asked: “Do I need to learn programming for cybersecurity?” The short answer is no, but it will be extremely helpful to your understanding and a great boost to your abilities; not to mention that it will open significantly more opportunities for you.
