# Ask Nicely
We are given an ELF 64-bit executable.
```
jordan@notyourcomputer:~/CTF-writeups/DawgCTF2020/asknicely$ file asknicely
asknicely: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, BuildID[sha1]=a592d141bbaac0f1b0f2defcc33003250b122d1c, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, not stripped
```
I disassembled the file using this command:
```
jordan@notyourcomputer:~/CTF-writeups/DawgCTF2020/asknicely$ objdump -d -M intel asknicely > asknicely.asm
```
While inspecting the assembly file, I found this function:
```

Looks like this function is responsible for printing the flag. I could just manually convert each ASCII character by hand, or I could just use gdb.
```
