Exploit Format

An exploit may be a script on any programming language or a binary executable.

While writing the exploit:

Accept the victim's host (IP address or domain) as the first command-line argument (sys.argv[1]).
Print flags to stdout or stderr. You can also print any other information there.

The flags are extracted from stdout and stderr using a regular expression (the flag format) configured in the config.py file on the farm server (for example, [A-Z0-9]{31}= for RuCTF(E)).
After printing flags, add a newline and perform flush(stdout):
```
print(html_with_flags, flush=True)
```
A part of the flags may be lost otherwise. For example, if the farm client kills long-running exploits, the flags may remain the stdout buffer and won't be read by the farm client.
Specify the interpreter if the exploit is a script. In case of Linux and macOS, add a shebang to the beginning of the file:
```
#!/usr/bin/env python3
```
Do not write #!/usr/bin/python3 (for example, the interpreter is located in a different place in macOS).

In case of Windows, the farm client tries to detect the interpreter by the file extension (see the SCRIPT_EXTENSIONS dictionary). If it fails to do this correctly, use the --interpreter option.
