Re: Buffer Overflow Experiment

["Rick Zhong" <sagiko () gmail com>]

Hi,
Since you are using Fedora, have you disabled kernel.exec-shield ?
the va randomize i.e. kernel.exec-shield-randomize  is only one of the
exec-shield features... So you may want to disable the whole
exec-shiedl to test your code.

regards,
Rick
