Did I see someone make the challange to cheat at rogue WITHOUT the
sources?  I've done it.  All we got was a striped a.out. (version
2.3??? or something, for 11/70)  I can now go into the executable
and change the encrypted wizard password to whatever I want.  However,
I don't play rogue very much at all.  I had more fun with adb figuring
out how to change the password, and considered it more of a challange
to ME, rather than luck.  So you went down to 25th level and killed
a dragon and I can't.(though with my new knowledge I can)  I went
down to 5th or 6th level subroutine and successfully twiddled the
bits, without ever having seen the sources or symbol table.  And
the knowledge I learned has applications in the real world.
