Very practical for a beginner, THANKS. #hint: replace the 'return address' with the 'win()' function address. (you can find it using any debugger as 'gdb' is), then using python2 to inject it (or overflow it) into the binary. (Ensure the address is in 'raw binary' value !).

GOOD

fuck python3

It happened to me that the address box returns: 8b 86 04 08, when in reality it is: 86 85 04 08, for this reason I could not find the flag, it always returned the message: "timeout: the monitored command dumped core"

thanks, python3.... python2 is the way to go

To anyone who can read this, kindly use python2 when working with bin xploits. Python 3 has an annoying byte-ascii conversion

Not if you use sys.stdout.buffer.write instead of print.

assembly language and gdb, stack must understand.
