Protostar - stack4

This is my fifth post on the Protostar series hosted by Exploit Exercises

We start off with understanding what is being asked of us:

About

Stack4 takes a look at overwriting saved EIP and standard buffer overflows.
This level is at /opt/protostar/bin/stack4
Hints

• A variety of introductory papers into buffer overflows may help.
• gdb lets you do “run < input”
• EIP is not directly after the end of buffer, compiler padding can also increase the size.

Source code

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

void win()
{
  printf("code flow successfully changed\n");
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  char buffer[64];

  gets(buffer);
}
