The codes before line +41 are not interesting, which indicates the first input must be below or eqaul to 0xe. Then, prepare three arguments for func4 procedure. The first argument is the first input. The second argument is 0, and the third is 0xe. The procedure func4 must return 0 otherwise the bomb explodes.
After returning from the procedure, it checks whether the second input is 0. So, the answer is 7 0.

This is a recursive function and we want it to return 0. After the simulation, we find that it is close to binary searching process, which searches the first argument between the range of the second and third arguments. If it returns 0, the first argument can be the middle of the second and the third, which is \(\frac{0 + e}{2} = 7\).

When encountering line +8, I have no idea what is
mov %fs:0x28,%rax. I have to check all I have learnt. I find this may help. Anyway, it seems to not relate to the bomb. So I will continue.
In the following few lines, it ensures that the length of the input string is 6. The core part begins from line +41, which transforms the input string character by character. The conversion is line +52, which only stores the lower 1 byte of the character as the offset. In line +55, the offset plus the base address 0x4024b0 is the target characters. The base address have the string “maduiersnfotvbyl”, which is the alphabet of the target string. The output string is line +81, “fliyer”. So, to construct this output string using the alphabet, the offset should be 9, f, e, 5, 6, 7. So, the characters of the input string must have the lower bytes in the offset series. After quering the ASCII table, one of the answer is ionuvw.

The codes before line +18 aim to store the six integer from the beginning of the stack pointer. The codes from line +32 to +93 aim to check all the numbers are different, and they must be below or equal to 6. The codes from line +95 to +121 aim to replace each input number with the 7-x where x is each number.
line +123 - +181: for every 7-x, if it is equal to 1 (i.e. x = 6), put 0x6032d0 into 0x20 + %rsp + 8 * index of this element. So, every element now sits on 8 bytes starting from addresss 0x20 + %rsp. If it is larger than 1, calculate the difference of 7-x and 1 as y. There is a linked list in the stack, which starting from the address 0x6032d0, since the following memory dump:

0x603328 <node6+8>: 0x00000000 0x00000000
The code will store the pointer to the linked list node at the 0x20 + %rsp + 8 * index of this element. The node index is y for every element.
line +183 - +222: starting from 0x20 + %rsp, for every pointer, set the ith pointer’s next (in the memory) as the (i+1)th pointer. And set the 6th pointer’s next as 0x0.
line +230 - end: the value stored at the first pointer to the sixth pointer should be descending. So, we must check the values stored at each pointer.

node3 > node4 > node5 > node6 > node1 > node2
So, the first element has difference 2, the node4 pointer has difference 3, …
So, \(7 - x - 1 = 2 => x = 4\), \(7 - x - 1 = 3 => x = 3\), … The answer is 4 3 2 1 6 5.
Finally
This lab is so painful… Tortures my mind and eyes to decode the assembly language.
But congratulations to myself!
