So this summer - and it has been this for the past 2 years - the famous Binary Golfing Grand Prix took place online for it’s 3rd edition, and of course I decided to give it a try. After getting to try my best at golfing binaries (see my golfing posts), I had to race this competition for fun and learn a lot about fuzzing - as I have never fuzzed before.

Or how to learn assembly optimization tricks.
