this week

Discuss and look at the "stack overflow" concept - check out my example.

I've uploaded the files that we created in class.

We typed "ABCDEFG" into the program, then put a breakpoint into read_word and used gdb to look at the stack. I've copy pasted that below.

want 0x40075e (print_is_magic) rather than 0x4007ed (main)

 (gdb) print $rsp
 $1 = (void *) 0x7fffffffea00
 (gdb) x/64bx 0x7fffffffea00

0x7fffffffea00: 0x41    0x42    0x43    0x44    0x45    0x46    0x47    0x0a
0x7fffffffea08: 0x00    0x08    0x40    0x00    0x00    0x00    0x00    0x00
0x7fffffffea10: 0xb0    0x7a    0xde    0xf7    0xff    0x7f    0x00    0x00
0x7fffffffea18: 0x6d    0x08    0x40    0x00    0x00    0x00    0x00    0x00
0x7fffffffea20: 0x00    0x00    0x00    0x00    0x00    0x00    0x00    0x00
0x7fffffffea28: 0x00    0xea    0xff    0xff    0xff    0x7f    0x00    0x00
0x7fffffffea30: 0x50    0xea    0xff    0xff    0xff    0x7f    0x00    0x00
0x7fffffffea38: 0xed    0x07    0x40    0x00    0x00    0x00    0x00    0x00

Ben tells me that he found the issue that kept it from working: there's a newline character on in there (in our previous input) which kept the fgets() in read_line() from reading in our whole exploit ...
