# Level5
Using ghidra, we can decompile the code and see that it fills a buffer of 520 bytes using `fgets`.
This buffer will then be passed directly as a parameter to `printf`. This allows us to print whatever we want (e.g dump the stack, change variables).
Our goal here will be to change the value of the `jmp` of `exit()` to the address of `o()`, opening a shell.
To do so, we will first dump the stack to know where the buffer is located.
Let's print something basic like `print("AAAA" + "%x"*20)`. We can see that 0x41414141 (= "AAAA") is printed at the 4th position in the stack.
Now that we know where our buffer is located on the stack, let's exploit printf.
By using the `%n` flag, we can change the value of a variable to the length of what's been printed before (here, o's address).
We can get both `jmp` instruction's address and `o`'s address using gdb.
Putting these all together, here is the command:
`(python -c 'print "\x38\x98\x04\x08" + "%134513824p" + "%4$n"'; cat) | ./level5`

# Level6
Using ghidra, we can decompile the code and see that it calls `malloc` twice.
The first malloc has a size of 64 bytes and is a buffer where the program will `strcpy(buf, av[1])`. The second one is a function pointer pointing to `m()` function by default (prints "Nope."). We want to change its value to point to the correct function `n()` that will open a shell.
To achieve this, we will overflow the first malloc and the second one's header so that we can write the adress through the input in `av[1]`.
To calculate the offset between the 2 allocations, we used gdb's breakpoints and prints, leading us to an offset of 72 bytes (64 + 8).
Here is the command:
./level6 $(python -c 'print "A"*72 + "\x54\x84\x04\x08"')
