Hi,
first of all thanks a lot to everyone!
The tips have been really helpful. While using some of the keyphrases
from the answering emails I was able to locate a paper by vangelis
explaining the problematics in exploiting a FC-Box.
I installed Debian-Sarge inside of a virtual machine and tested
everything again over there. It worked perfectly.
So I can claim that this problem is solved.
Just to finish up:
Can someone recommend a certain distro or distro-version that comes with
no security enhancing mechanisms at all? I'm not planning to use it for
my work, don't worry. I simply want a system to run in a virtual machine
on which I can play around with security flaws and get the hang out of
it. It may be challenging, but i prefer NOT to get started in
buffer-overflow-exploiting by trying to circumvent exec-shield and
address randomization. :)
Thanks once more!
Paul
