What I quickly realised though was the (()) mechanism did not facilitate the use of arguments, for example attempts to cat blargh or ls -al failed, they were not being parsed properly by the "Special (TM)" interpretor. I then spent a quite a while trying to interact with blargh and the method of command execution I had found. Knowing this, and assuming cat could be replaced by any command, the next test was to use ((ls)) to start gathering information about what is in the current working folder that may be accessible.

This command would not emit the typical error and would await for further input on standard input, as if cat command was being executed without arguments.

In this CTF, there are buffer overflow, on stack shellcode execution, format string attack, function overwrite, C programming array out of bound (OOB) arbilitary write, stack cache, and vulnerable string check. This took a lot of experimenting with bash shell syntax that I was familiar, throwing everything at the wall until I stumbled on the use of ((cat)) whilst trying to concatenate potential flag files in the working folder.
