The coding syntax per se has NOT changed, it is a standard after all. Implementation regarding specific features indeed does changes. Visual Studio 6 is ancient history. While you do not specify what errors you are getting and which exploit you try to compile, VS6 is out of date and included irksome results for certain features (i.e. try some STL code on VS6 and watch the chaos that is likely to ensue). Perhaps your best bet would be to port the exploit to something more modern (e.g. metasploit), if it's not already included there. On 08/07/2011 06:14 PM, macubergeek wrote:
I'm having issues compiling some exploit code under Visual Studio Express 2010, particularly kicking up syntax errors. I first suspected that this was "lamer" code with deliberately inserted syntax errors, but I now suspect I'm having compiler compatibility issues. Original coder indicated in the source to compile it under VS v. 6. Could there be compiler version differences which might be part of my problems? I mean has the coding syntax changed? —thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This list is sponsored by: Information Assurance Certification Review Board Prove to peers and potential employers without a doubt that you can actually do a proper penetration test.
