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

# 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
