1 Introduction
The nefarious Dr. Evil has planted a slew of “binary bombs” on our class machines. A binary bomb is a program that consists of a sequence of phases. Each phase expects you to type a particular string on stdin. If you type the correct string, then the phase is defused and the bomb proceeds to the next phase. Otherwise, the bomb explodes by printing "BOOM!!!" and then terminating. The bomb is defused when every phase has been defused.
There are too many bombs for us to deal with, so we are giving each student a bomb to defuse. Your mission, which you have no choice but to accept, is to defuse your bomb before the due date. Good luck, and welcome to the bomb squad!
Step 2:
Defuse Your Bomb
Your job for this lab is to defuse your bomb.
You must do the assignment on one of the class machines. In fact, there is a rumor that Dr. Evil really is
evil, and the bomb will always blow up if run elsewhere. There are several other tamper-proofing devices
built into the bomb as well, or so we hear.
