I've been trying to solve this challenge for some time but I've ran out of ideas. The elf x86-64 binary is position independent so I can't predict or bruteforce the addresses of the gadgets needed for ROP or stack juggling since there is no information leak, Even though the stack is executable I didn't find any way to redirect the execution to some useful address on the stack. What am I missing?

The challenge hasn't been solved since the server move, so it might be broken -- haven't checked tho.
Can anyone confirm if it is working (or not)?
