By exploiting the vulnerability, we would like to add a record to the password file, with a goal of creating a new user account that has the root privilege. Inside the password file, each user has an entry, which consists of seven fields separated by colons (:).

      Users’ passwords are stored in /etc/shadow, which is neither readable nor writable to normal users. However, the passwd program allows users to change their passwords. Namely, when users run passwd, they can suddenly modify /etc/shadow. Moreover users can only modify one entry in /etc/shadow, but not the other people’s entries.

      The file /etc/passwd is readable for everyone in the system, which makes it sensitive for password attacks. A solution to this problem is to use what is known as a "shadow" file (/etc/shadow). The whole idea is then to move the encrypted passwords from/etc/passwd to /etc/shadow, and make
