We are greeted by this prompt as shown above this is a fairly basic challenge i have a feeling for that we browse the assembly code and see that there is a check_password section lets put a break there and go through it,

As we can see the password length is supposed to be 8, and theres a loop mechanism with r14 as its index, the intersting part is that the password validation is performed here

44c2:  ee9d 0024      cmp.b	@r13, 0x2400(r14)

it validates something from memory which means that if we go to address 0x2400 we’ll find the password so we did and we got it
