unfortunately i dont know what the hell i talk about usually...
ummm please forgive me blunt ignorance, i am used to running ptrace exploits on redhat 7.2 or 7.3 boxes and actually getting them to work...
so that about sums up my knowledge in linux exploits... the linux conf exploit that i speak of is:
* Linuxconf <= 1.28r3 local xploit
* by RaiSe <raise@netsearch-ezine.com>
can be viewed herethis is for RedHat 7.3 and Mandrake 8.0 and 8.2 dist.
so thats about it ....
on boxes that the ptrace gets killed (i dont know by what, could be privleges or whatever) i use the linuxconf one to create the buffer overflow which doesn't get me root and then i open the ptrace exploit again and it attatches the shellcode perfectly...
so skyline im sorry if i didnt make any sense to anyone i apologize for my ignorance....
