Also unrelated, but seeing "A 2nd Year Computer Science Student" in the blog name was both breathtaking in a positive way, but also hurts a little. Kudos to the author, seriously.
Students are the only people with the patience for deep RE, I spent hours and hours in my teens unpacking binaries that used similar VMs and got pretty decent at it.
Nowadays, there is no way I could do it, I tried to get back into hackthebox recently and the new RE challenges make my brain hurt.
