Part 2 is the challenging part; it's mostly a problem solving thing and less of a coding problem
That doesn't look too challenging for anyone who has experience in low-level programming, embedded systems, and reverse engineering. In fact for me it'd be far easier than part 1, as I've done plenty of work similar to the latter, but not the former.
Yea it’s pretty easy after doing them, but it’s rare for software developers these days to do that activity on a day to day basis. It reminded me of the software crackers of the 90s and 2000s who would post cracks for windows software like autocad.
It’s also relative because a $50/hr contract job isn’t exactly attracting low level FAANG engineering talent. But it’s a nice take home challenge for some second rate engineer like myself who will tackle any problem until I figure it out.
