Linux: 'make'ing a program with an executable stack & another question - superMAUS - 05-20-2014
I have the source for the program and I need to 'make' it without an executable stack for buffer overflow testing.
(also does a non executable stack not lead to a crash in the event of a buffer overflow)
RE: Linux: 'make'ing a program with an executable stack & another question - w00t - 05-20-2014
The crash is because it is trying to ret to an invalid address, having a NX stack shouldn't effect that.
Just execstack -s the finished executable.
Wait, without an executable stack? That should be default
