### AI overview

A technical walkthrough of a No Such Con security challenge involving a nanomite-protected MIPS binary. The article introduces the challenge, MIPS fundamentals, debugging setup, and symbolic-execution-based analysis, with two co-authored solution paths.

### Source excerpt

As last year, the French conference No Such Con returns for its second edition in Paris from the 19th of November until the 21th of November. And again, the brilliant Eloi Vanderbeken & his mates at Synacktiv put together a series of three security challenges especially for this occasion. Apparently, the ...
