hi

i'm using vmware with knoppix STD running on it. win2000 seems ok to for gaming and oll other things. But for 'security' i prefer pingu :)

by the way, since i'm not allowed to post a new topic, here's a little question..

command : #sudo su

u gain root acces with that (maybe u all already knew :lol: )
but what the heck ...

can somebody pleas explain how & why ? i already did some searching here, but found nothing or maybe i didn t searched well enough ?
tx ;)

How about compiling them in borland C/C++, wont that work?
as far as i know linux are written in C and C++ so a version of a C/C++ Compiler that runs under windows will propably compile linux exploits such as the one you want to compile. (correct me if i'm wrong, don't let me spread wrong ideas)

linux is written is C and ASM, there's no "++" ^^ (i mean in linux, not in 3rd party apps or in some libraries)

you can compil unix code on windows only if the code is a written in pure ANSI C, without using unix library (inet arpa etc...) otherwise, the code will need some tweaks.


and yes sudo/su are command to gain root level, its usefull for admins when they need it and dont want to log out and log in as root just for one or two commands.

if you're wondering if everybody can do that, of course not, you need the root password do to that, but since there's no root password on knoppix.....
(btw knoppix is fun becoz you can always have your linux in your pocket, but people should keep in mind that it's a live cd, for a everyday use, they must install a hd distro ^^)

Simple way to compile (using a gcc compiler and Cygwin is a windows-variation IIRC) is:

gcc filetobecompiled.c -o compiledfile

gcc ---> compiler name
filetobecompiled.c ---> the original source code
-o ---> send it to output
compiledfile ---> what you want to call the binary file when it compiles

I thought this was a problem 2 when i first downloaded cygwin . but what you acualy have to do is download with the same setup.exe the gcc installers . You see the deffault installed doesn;t contain thouse . You just have to download them .. or directly install from internet .

I know gcc but,when I type gcc then cygwin (for windows) replies "command not found"

No.. get cygwin up and running first. Where did you install it to (you have installed it right? it is a fairly large install IIRC)? When it's running, it's like having a bash shell on windows.

You did not install gcc, it is not installed by default. See this link

You could get a shell account from somewhere (like rootshell) which runs emacs and get a windows ssh client (like SSH secure shell client) to connect to it in windows and use that to compile and run exploits, but lots of people that provide shells dont like the idea that you are using it to run exploits so watch what you are doing. :lol:

Stupid question perhaps but...

If i compile the C code with CYGWIN do i need CYGWIN to run the compiled file?
For example, If i want to use it on another WIndows Machine....
