Nice beginner crackme, I enjoyed solving it! (Warning: at the time of writing, the 32bit version did not work as intended, but the 64bit version did)

Is the 32 bit version broken? I've been trying to solve it for a while, got close but it seems that when my number is converted its no longer null terminated therefore doesn't match the string that its checked against...

OK, I'd solved it ages ago, yes the 32bit version is broken! :-/

Any tips for a complete newcomer about how one should approach things like this? I fired up my gdb, got some breakpoints assigned and figured out what's going to scanf(). After that I simply got stuck and wonder am I approaching this from a wrong angle (ie. should I be doing something else than reading disassembly output of gdb)?

Tips would be to look at the big picture. Where is the success call? How many ways can you get there?

I am very sorry for the broken version, I am new to C and did not test it throughly, sorry for the inconvenience!
