This exploit uses the pokemon exploit as a base and automatically generates a new passwd line. The original /etc/passwd is then backed up to /tmp/passwd.bak and overwritten with the new line. The user will be prompted for the new password when the binary is run. After running the exploit you should be able to login with the newly created user.

// Original exploit:
// https://github.com/dirtycow/dirtycow.github.io/blob/master/pokemon.c
//
// To use this exploit modify the user values according to your needs
//
// Compile with
//
// gcc -pthread dirty.c -o dirty -lcrypt
//
// and just run the newly create binary with ./dirty
//
// DON'T FORGET TO RESTORE YOUR /etc/passwd AFTER RUNNING THE EXPLOIT !
