Flare-on is an annual CTF style challenge organized by Fire-eye with a focus on reverse engineering. The contest falls into its fourth year this season. Taking part in these challenges gives us a nice opportunity to learn something new and this year was no exception. Overall, there were 12 challenges to complete. Official solution to the challenges has already been published at the
FireEye blog. Hence instead of a detailed write-up, I will just cover the important parts.
