Posted: Thu Oct 22, 2009 10:55 pm Post subject: C Programming - Buffer Overflow Exploit
With the following C program:
Code:
void func(char * str)
{
char buff[16];
strcpy(buff,str);
}
void main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
int check = 1;
func(argv);
if(check == 1)
{
printf(“check should be 1 (%d)\n”,check);
} else
{
Printf(“check should not be 1 (%d)\n”,check);
}
}
1. How would I mount a buffer overflow attack on the given program and corrupt the variable “check” with the value 25?
Such that after the buffer overflow attack the output of the program should be the following:
check should not be 1 (25)
2. How would I mount a buffer overflow attack on the given program and bypass the “if” condition?
Such that after the buffer overflow attack the output of the program should be the following:
check should not be 1 (1)
3. How would I increase the size of the buffer “buff” (to as much as you want) and mount a buffer overflow attack and make the program execute a shell (“/bin/bash”)?
I am just beginning to learn buffer overflow exploits, so any help and/or explanations would be much appreciated...
