nips was a reverse engineering challenge involving a UPX-packed, stripped 32-bit MIPS binary. After unpacking, analysis revealed that the program encrypted input using the Tiny Encryption Algorithm (TEA) with four hardcoded keys and compared the result against a stored ciphertext. By identifying the TEA constant, extracting the keys, and replicating the algorithm, the ciphertext could be decrypted to obtain the flag.
