query: Windows exploits (random stack frame pointer)

Hi All,

I have written exploits for binaries with fixed stack frame pointer.
But now a days most of the compliers generates instrutions with random
stack frame pointer. And with injecting Windows API function addresses,
how can we inject the argument address for foreign exe?

How can I go about writing exploits for such codes?

Note: Most of the codes that I would like to write exploits is having
sprintf/sscanf stuffs.

Thanks

This is entirely off-topic in comp.lang.c. Even if it were topical, I
certainly *hope* that nobody would help you with this. Are you trying
to write viruses?

Worms, definitely not viruses.

Hello all, I need your help on this problem. I wrote a little program as follows. (BTW, I worked on a new dell latitude, runing Linux kernel 2.4.19, i686). Program was compiled with gcc 3.2 void foo() { char t; strcpy(t, "012345678901234567890123456789012345678");

Hi gurus I was reading FAQ "alloca cannot be written portably, and is difficult to implement on machines without a conventional stack." I understand that the standard does not mandate "heap" or "stack" I'm curious to know the implemenations which dont have stack or heap.

Is there a way (understandably non-portable) to get the call stack from within a function? That is, assuming the application has been compiled with symbols, get the list of calling function names (similar to dbx "where" command").

To answer the inevitable question why I want this, I am writing a simple profiler for my library....

Hi all, I need a few clarifications regarding memory allocaion in C++. I apologize for the lengthy explanation. 1. In C++, Objects are allocated in heap. What does heap refer to? Is it an area in RAM/Memory or does it refer to a data structure being used for storing objects. 2. In C++, functions and its local variables go in stack. If local variables that are primitives go in stack, it is OK. But what

I know this is a very fundamental question. I am still quite confused if the program call stack stack should always grows upwards from the bottom, or the opposite, or doesn't matter?? That means the stack pointer should go upwards when there are "push" operations, and stack pointer should go downards when there are "pop" operations?? If this is the case, the address should go upwards (increasing) or downards (decreasing) then? i.e....

I've seen code that allocates an object on the stack and then saves a class reference to it. example: void ScribbleArea::resizeImage( const QSize &newSize) { QImage newImage( newSize, ); *m_image = newImage; // m_image is a QImage }

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
