RE: Buffer Overflow problem

Hello,

I loaded the program today and I was shaking my head even before I tried to overflow it... I just subtracted a few from the esp to get inside the NOP sled. The Illegal Instruction came from returning before the buffer was allocated. I feel like such an ass, sorry for these dumb questions, I think the esp changed a little when I ran the program. A big thank you to Krzysztof and Byrne for your help with this! I wont spam the list anymore with this stuff =P
