Stack Five

Stack5 is a standard buffer overflow, this time introducing shellcode.

This level is at /opt/protostar/bin/stack5

Hints

• At this point in time, it might be easier to use someone elses shellcode
• If debugging the shellcode, use \xcc (int3) to stop the program executing and return to the debugger
• remove the int3s once your shellcode is done.

Source code

#include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h>  int main(int argc, char **argv) { char buffer[64]; gets(buffer); }
