hi i was wondering if there were tools to find some bufferoverflows in appz.
I know of fuzzer.py , but it's only for ftp and such. Are there other good tools which pentest appz for overflows.I know i can write my own, but it's a pain in the ass i think. I ain't that good :ph34r:
I can garauntee you that you will learn a lot more if you just do it yourself, without the help of any tools or programs. If you are having trouble learning how to write your own exploits, try reading Aleph One's Smashing The Stack For Fun And Profit, which is perhaps one of the best articles to-date on the subject and is what I learned by. However, you have to be pretty well-versed in C and you pretty much need to know the basics of x86 Assembly (although it isn't neccessarily a requirement). If you don't know C, then you may want to make it easier on yourself by picking up Perl and learning how to exploit under it, as it is generally an easier language to learn (much more relaxed in language rules) and is also easier to write exploits in when compared to C. Good luck.
