Downloading Maya-protected binaries

For those who are interested in reverse-engineering some simple programs that were protected with Maya's Veil, feel free to download a couple of samples that are available at http://www.bitlackeys.org/maya_crackmes.tgz. This link contains three files: crackme.elf_hardest, crackme.elf_medium, and test.maya.
