Vulnerability Development: Re: understanding buffer overflows

('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) Try this.. it is in C but you shouldn't have problems rewriting it..
In your example you are overrunning the buffer but you might not be overwriting the EIP .. try a bigger buffer

    hello, my name is michael, im from austria - so my english is very bad.
    A few days ago i begin to experiment with bufferoverflows in linux.
    i wrote a little c++ programm like this:
    #include < string.h>
    void main()
    {
      char buffer[10];
      char COPY[]="AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...";
    strcpy((char *)buffer,(char *)COPY);
    }
    k, this works very well, i got a core dump and have startet gdb. but in the output from "info all" was eip not overwritten
    so i put a few lines in the program to output addresses from functions and variables.
    addresses from functions where over 0 (eg (dec)500000) and addresses from vars under 0 (eg -5000000)
    i think this is maybe the problem - but why?
    output from gdb:
    eax 0x0 0
    ecx 0x41414141 1094795585
    edx 0x1d7 471
    ebx 0xb7e27ff4 -1209892876
    esp 0x4141413d 0x4141413d
    ebp 0x41414141 0x41414141
    esi 0xb7f77ce0 -1208517408
    edi 0x0 0
    eip 0x80484ad 0x80484ad
    eflags 0x210286 [ PF SF IF RF ID ]
    cs 0x73 115
    ss 0x7b 123
    ds 0x7b 123
    es 0x7b 123
    fs 0x0 0
    gs 0x33 51
    hope anybody can help me understand/learn.
    greets from austria, michael
