{% endhint %}

## Software

* **Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS x86\_64 (WSL)**
* gdb (Version 12.1)
* pwndbg (2025.04.18 build: 02335839)
* pwntools (Version 4.14.1)
* ghidra (Version 11.2 2024-Sep-26)
* IDA (Version 9.2)

## PWN Template

Place the template file in your pwntools template directory, in my case it was located in `~/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pwnlib/data/templates`:
