void foo (char *x) {
char buf [8];
strcpy((char *) buf, x);
}
void callfoo() {

This problem tests your understanding of the program stack. Here are some notes to
help you work the problem:
⚫ strcpy(char *dst, char *src) copies the string at address src (including
the terminating '\0' character) to address dst. It does not check the size of
the destination buffer.
• You will need to know the hex values of the following characters:
Consider the following assembly code for a C for loop:
movl $0, %eax
jmp
.L2
.L3:
addq
$1, %rdi
addq
%rsi, %rax
subq
$1, %rsi
.L2:
cmpq
%rsi, %rdi
jl
.L3
addq
ret
%rdi, %rax
Based on the assembly code above, fill in the blanks below in its corresponding C
source code. Recall that registers %rdi and %rsi contain the first and second, respectively,
argument of a function. (Note: you may only use the symbolic variables x, y, and
result in your expressions below do not use register names.)
long loop (long x, long y)
{
long result;
}

return result;

- In each of the following C code snippets, there are issues that can prevent the compiler from applying certain optimizations. For each snippet: Circle the line number that contains compiler optimization blocker. ⚫ Select the best modification to improve optimization. 1. Which line prevents compiler optimization? Circle one: 2 3 4 5 6 Suggested solution: ⚫ Remove printf or move it outside the loop. Remove the loop. • Replace arr[i] with a constant value. 1 int sum (int *arr, int n) { 2 int s = 0; 3 for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) { 4 5 6 } 7 8 } s = arr[i]; printf("%d\n", s); return s; 234206 2.

Your goal is to create a stack layout for a ROP attack that calls a function located at '0x4018bd3'. Below is the assembly code for the function 'getbuf', which allocates 8 bytes of stack space for a 'char' array. This array is then passed to the 'gets' function. Additionally, you are provided with five useful gadgets and their addresses. Use these gadgets to construct the stack layout.
