hi the cocoon page has made a wrong statement or given wrong examples?
gcc -o strcat-overflow strcat-overflow.c -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE ./strcat-overflow 2345678 ./strcat-overflow 23456789 ./strcat-overflow 234567890 gcc -o strcat-overflow strcat-overflow.c -fno-stack-protector ./strcat-overflow 2345678 ./strcat-overflow 23456789 ./strcat-overflow 234567890 gcc -o strcat-overflow strcat-overflow.c ./strcat-overflow 2345678 ./strcat-overflow 23456789 ./strcat-overflow 234567890 the page states that there shouldn't be any seg faults, maybe that was wrong? shouldn't this flag "-fno-stack-protector" disable stack guard and actually cause a seg fault? I'm reading "http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hlfs/view/unstable/uclibc-2.6/chapter05/cocoon-toolchain.html"; Hardened Linux From Scratch - Version SVN-20071022 Chapter 5.
