Bomblab is a take-home project assigned to computer science students which is intended to teach the basics of debugging and navigating assembly code. One of the authors, without any prior knowledge of or access to Bomblab's source code, wrote an auto-solver in April 2016 that inspects the bomb using the Linux objdump program as a disassembler and finds the answers to all seven phases by identifying patterns within that code and the data present in the bomb itself. The goal of this project is to mitigate any potential for a static auto-solver to be created.
