I am trying to defuse a binary bomb using GDB. But my GDB shows these errors:

I have searched for many solutions but none of them worked, for example: run as administrator, disable antivirus, use sudo, ... Why my GDB behaves like this? I hope someone could help me.
Here is the link to my binary bomb in case you want to try it out.
Thank you so much!
