Solving a VM CrackMe

I’m always having problems solving a VM obfucscation challenge in any CTF. This time I plan to end this by solving a VM CrackMe. I got this from a team-mate ( h4x5p4c3 ), another helpful team-mate.

Here are a few resources before we begin :

Analysis Of Virtualization-based Obfuscation
The challenge

As I mentioned earlier, I am not good with VM crackmes but when I started following that video (first), just 40 minutes into the video and I’m able to detect the dispatcher function. I highly recommend anyone who really wants to learn. I’ll be solving a few VM crackmes to improve my skills. I have basic reversing skills but I have a bad habit of getting stuck in useless functions or parts of code like we did with XVM. Our goal was to solve the crackme and I started to reconstruct the whole code. I won’t be doing such things in this one. Although we might go into detail.
