Hi, first of all thanks a lot to everyone! The tips have been really helpful. While using some of the keyphrases from the answering emails I was able to locate a paper by vangelis explaining the problematics in exploiting a FC-Box. I installed Debian-Sarge inside of a virtual machine and tested everything again over there. It worked perfectly. So I can claim that this problem is solved. Just to finish up: Can someone recommend a certain distro or distro-version that comes with no security enhancing mechanisms at all? I'm not planning to use it for my work, don't worry. I simply want a system to run in a virtual machine on which I can play around with security flaws and get the hang out of it. It may be challenging, but i prefer NOT to get started in buffer-overflow-exploiting by trying to circumvent exec-shield and address randomization. :) Thanks once more!
