Insomni’hack 2013 – Armory level3

This challenge was the last level on the ARM platform. It was a crackme with a stripped binary including a basic anti-debugging trick. Sadly, only one team managed to complete this challenge before the end of Insomni’hack and another wasn’t far from what we discussed later.
