Positional Args and Finding Your Offset
- Typing many
%pis tedious —- use positional%N$p. - Trick: put a marker (
AAAA) then scan offsets until it appears.
input : AAAAAAAA %6$p %7$p %8$p
output: AAAAAAAA 0x... 0x4141414141414141 0x...
^-- our "AAAA" is at offset 7
- Once you know the offset of your buffer, you can plant an address there and dereference it (next section).
- Offsets are stable per binary, so one probe is enough.
