🔎 Solution

This challenge introduces basic binary operations. You'll be given two binary numbers and tasked with performing a series of operations such as AND, OR, addition, multiplication, bitwise shift right, and bitwise shift left - step by step.

Binary Number 1: 11001000
Binary Number 2: 10010010

If you're not keen on doing all the operations manually, you can use this to perform these operations easily and quickly.

Question 1/6:
Operation 1: '&'
Perform the operation on Binary Number 1&2.
Enter the binary result: 10000000
Correct!

Question 2/6:
Operation 2: '|'
Perform the operation on Binary Number 1&2.
Enter the binary result: 11011010
Correct!

Question 3/6:
Operation 3: '+'
Perform the operation on Binary Number 1&2.
Enter the binary result: 101011010
Correct!

Question 4/6:
Operation 4: '*'
Perform the operation on Binary Number 1&2.
Enter the binary result: 111001000010000
Correct!

Question 5/6:
Operation 5: '>>'
Perform a right shift of Binary Number 2 by 1 bits .
Enter the binary result: 1001001
Correct!

Question 6/6:
Operation 6: '<<'
Perform a left shift of Binary Number 1 by 1 bits.
Enter the binary result: 110010000
Correct!

Once all operations are completed, you'll obtain a final binary result, which you must convert into its hexadecimal representation.

Enter the results of the last operation in hexadecimal: 190

If all operations are carried out correctly and the final conversion is accurate, you'll recover the flag.

Correct answer!
The flag is: picoCTF{b1tw^3se_0p3eR@tI0n_su33essFuL_675602ae}
