Nice :) In the original "Hacking Forensics" level I already tried doing it bitwise but didn't have enough lines to get it done haha.
Unfortunately your level has no randomness/multiple tests so technically it can be finished with only 4 lines of code :)
But I've also done it in the intended way with 69 lines of code, I haven't tried to optimise it yet.

Nice puzzle! A harder version of one of the game's puzzles (which was already pretty hard :D)
