`jumbled` challenge is not intuitive #35

Open gabrielmocanu opened 1 year ago

Since you have to generate a lot of available flags, you won't know which one is the correct one.

Also the flag is not correct in either flag file or in the solution script provided.

I guess the challenge needs to be reworded. The idea is to generate all permutations of the fractions of the flag that are separated by he non-printable characters (0x80 0x80 0x80). The point of the task is to convey the message that sometimes you have to brute force things.
