# In order to exploit a format string you need to find a position where part of your payload

# and write arbitrary content in those addresses
# Therefore, the function get_formatstring_config will find the offset and padd needed to exploit the format string

# In this template, the GOT of printf (the part of the GOT table that points to where the printf
# function resides) is going to be modified by the address of the system inside the PLT (the
# part of the code that will jump to the system function).
# Therefore, next time the printf function is executed, system will be executed instead with the same
# parameters passed to printf

# In some scenarios you will need to loop1 more time to the vulnerability
# In that cases you need to overwrite a pointer in the .fini_array for example
# Uncomment the commented code below to gain 1 rexecution extra
