Creative clocks are a dime a dozen, even clocks that use binary have been created in nearly every format. [typo] promises a clever adaptation to the binary format, and it promises a more usable display. Using a combination of both traditional binary and digital gradients creates a usable and yet still nerdy fun clock.

[typo]’s clock fits the traditional binary counting method with the hours on the left side of its face. On the other hand, its right side presents a lighting gradient depending on the completion of the hour. While this is simple in principle, [typo] chose to correct what many don’t consider when deploying visual gradients. The human eye doesn’t see everything exactly as it is, which creates a rough logarithmic curve that gets corrected for in the binary/digital hybrid clock.

If you want something more mobile and still have that smidge of difficult time telling you, check out this minimalist wrist watch!

This article talks about cracking Level 13 Binary of Cyberstart CTF. The hint that was given for this challenge is “Cyclic Pattern”, which means we need to use pattern finder tool to figure out the length of the buffer and then run the arbitrary function. Let’s crack this: Running the binary gives us this output: […]
