Sources of ReRe, a Python RE500 challenge

ctf:dragon sector
ReRe
The CONFidence Teaser CTF 2016 by Dragon Sector is now over and the results are in (congratz 9447!). Therefore I decided to share the sources of my task called ReRe, which was a Python rainbow-heavy obfuscation-heavy bytecode-all-around challenge. I won't spoil too much in case you would like to try to solve it (crackme/rere.py in the archive), but if you would like to read more on it, just see the SOLUTION.md file in the zip file. I'll add, that the obfuscation used self-modifying bytecode, some bytecode-level obfuscation and minor string obfuscation as well, so if you would like to learn more about Python 2.7 internal code representation, try your luck with ReRe :) It was solved 5 times btw.

Have fun, good luck!

Gyn, could you make available somewhere code/binary for A'mazeing (or what was the name) game?

Have anyone solved j00ru's challenge? Or have j00ru published the explanation somewhere?
