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 area etc etc. -- Cheers, @ _______________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
