By the way aleph1 was the first person who posted the stack smashing in Phrack years back. That was the beginning of bufferoverflow exploitation :-) What I meant from the "versions DON'T matter" is that if you can read assembly it DOES NOT matter what version ur compiler or linux kernel is, you only need to locate ur eip to overwrite in your case. Yes, for exploitation it requires a little more understanding because of the techniques employed by new gcc and kernel like ASLR, stack protection, non-exec section etc etc. -- Cheers, @ _______________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
