hints
As the clock strikes 22:00 my time, here are some hints for unsolved challenges.
Jump, jump, jump: execution is not needed to solve if you've got a decent decompiler. check katt's github page https://github.com/sanglantes
Steamed hams: More explicitly: the flag consists of known English words. Make-a-Curve: https://math.mit.edu/classes/18.783/2022/LectureSlides13.pdf
Silence of the Binaries: every file counts.
