Root me write-up : Python - input()

To comply with the write-up rule of root-me.org, in this write-up, I just listed hints related this challenge. Here is no solution and correct answer. I ask for your understanding.


<Source code>

#!/usr/bin/python2

import sys

def youLose():
    print "Try again ;-)"
    sys.exit(1)


try:
    p = input("Please enter password : ")
except:
    youLose()


with open(".passwd") as f:
    passwd = f.readline().strip()
    try:
        if (p == int(passwd)):
            print "Well done ! You can validate with this password !"
    except:
        youLose()

In this source code, there is "input()" function. It has a critical vulnerability, The post I wrote before about "input()" function maybe helps you.

Using this vulnerability can result in a number of cases. I could get the flags without satisfying the condition of the if statement.
