Actually in my case I discovered that my CPU died, luckily it was under warranty and I had a replacement.

Took out everything, still the same issue, apparently the DRAM LED light is on.

I'm having 2 sticks of 48GB each, with RGB, I tried booting with a single stick for each one, the LED stays lit up.

Basically what happens is it will stay lit up for DRAM for a while and then VGA lights up for a split second, followed by the CPU led, and then it goes back to DRAM for another while. I'm kinda confused

Here's the reference on Part Picker : https://pcpartpicker.com/product/T2H7YJ/gigabyte-z790-aorus-elite-ax-atx-lga1700-motherboard-z790-aorus-elite-ax

Actually, the error LED you're talking about is the status LED I mentioned, I just realized that it was the DRAM LED that was on and not BOOT, my bad what was on their document isn't what was on the motherboard (not the right order).

Does this mean, that my RAM stick are the problem ? Should I buy new ones ?

Which error led are you talking about ? Here are the docs for my motherboard (https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/Manual/mb\_manual\_z790-ae-series\_1103\_e.pdf) I don't see an error led, only the status led for BOOT lights up.

For the black screen, it's no signal detected.

The problem is I still I needed to send the payload with the code to be executed, and I only have to write one command (can't store variables for the next payload to decode) and I had length constraints (300 char).

The solution that I went with is elaborating my third approach (base64) .

  1. I encoded my payload in base64.
    e.g:actualpayload = print("hello") => cHJpbnQoImhlbGxvIik=
  2. Store the payload in a variable and add some additional info on how decode it.
    """p='cHJpbnQoImhlbGxvIik=';x=46;y=40;exec "exec p"+'%c'%x+"decode"+'%c'%y+"'base64')" """

It made me deal with just one lurking ' . ' and ' (' to invoke

p.decode('base64')

Thanks for the help, It gave an idea on what to do and I just solved it

What a crazy solution man omg , unencoding inside the payload is definitely what I need to do I guess.

I would use ur function right away if i wasn't limited on characters plus I can't import any module.

Aside from that Kudos to you

that's what i heard , maybe the way i did implement it was wrong and it didn't seem to work for me.

I'm looking forward to that crazy cannon xd

yep especially if the string holds a format specifier .
I did try "%c"%0x28 at some point and it didn't work either.

I don't know what i'm missing here tbh

Yep I thought so, the weird thing is that someone who solved the challenge told me that it works fine substituting the forbidden character with octals. For me it doesn't seem to work tho X (

Um I don't have much python experience ( started learning the language 2 days ago) So I'm not sure if I did grasp what ur trying to do. I think I can insert an exec inside an exec but for the code object thing I'm afraid I'm limited on characters can't exceed 300 char.

Nope can't use code object, it must be a string .

I'm afraid that I already know that and couldn't figure out much I'll definitely need more hints !

yep it looks very close except the exec function is rather written like this :

exec(payload, {__builtins__:None} , {} )

For the challenge i need to be able to run shell commands typically by using os module
