 +    * Hint: you're on 64-bit, check the links above for the calling convention...
 +    * Hint 2: you also don't have debugging info compiled-in,​ so you must use disassembly to find the RBP offset of the ''​buf''​ variable;
 +<spoiler In case of emergency, expand>
 +If this seems too difficult or you wasted too much time, just add ''​-g''​ to the ''​gcc''​ rule inside the Makefile, recompile and try it this way :(

-Beware of this behavior: if you overwrite just 1-2 extra bytes after the saved EIP, you will invalidate the ''​get_user_info''​ function'​s arguments, thus your program will crash earlier on one of those ''​memcpy''​ lines and won't get to return properly! Use the attached GDB and set breakpoints before these lines to debug (or just ''​reverse-*''​ your execution to discover the segfault ​reason ;) ).+Beware of this behavior: if you overwrite just 1-2 extra bytes after the saved EIP, you will invalidate the ''​get_user_info''​ function'​s arguments, thus your program will crash earlier on one of those ''​memcpy''​ lines and won't get to return properly!
