# ESP Start — Solution # test
**Difficulty:** Easy | **Category:** ESP | **Flag:** `ESPILON{st4rt_th3_w1r3}` hello world
## Overview
Flash the provided firmware onto an ESP32. On boot, the device outputs an
XOR-encrypted flag along with the XOR key via UART at 115200 baud.
## Step 1 — Flash the firmware
```bash
esptool.py --chip esp32 --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --baud 460800 write_flash -z \
0x1000 bootloader.bin \
0x8000 partition-table.bin \
0x10000 hello-espilon.bin
```
## Step 2 — Read the UART output
```bash
screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
# Or:
minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 115200
```
The device prints:
```text
=== Hello ESP ===
System ready.
Encrypted flag: 09 12 19 07 00 0E 07 35 3F 35 7D 3C 38 1E 3D 26 7F 1E 3E 7F 3E 72 34
XOR Key: 4C 41 49 4E
```
## Step 3 — Decrypt the flag
XOR key is `LAIN` (`4C 41 49 4E`). Apply it cyclically:
```python
enc = bytes([0x09,0x12,0x19,0x07,0x00,0x0E,0x07,0x35,
0x3F,0x35,0x7D,0x3C,0x38,0x1E,0x3D,0x26,
0x7F,0x1E,0x3E,0x7F,0x3E,0x72,0x34])
key = b"LAIN"
flag = bytes(b ^ key[i % len(key)] for i, b in enumerate(enc))
print(flag.decode())
# ESPILON{st4rt_th3_w1r3}
```
## Key Concepts
- **ESP32 flashing**: `esptool.py` writes bootloader, partition table, and application at their respective offsets
- **UART monitoring**: ESP32 default baud rate is 115200, 8N1
- **XOR cipher**: Simple symmetric cipher — key is broadcast in plaintext here as an intro challenge
