Hrmm. I think you need to check out that nice paper from Mixer. It shows
some nice stuff like that. Writing buffer overflow exploits - a tutorial
for beginners is the name of it and since I'm nice here's a link:
http://members.tripod.com/mixtersecurity/papers.html
Link is prolly old and outdated so if it's gone don't ask where you can
find it. Search. And good luck with those buffer overflows. they are nice,
but VERY hard to get the hang of, that is if you don't have a vast
knowledge of Memory. So yea, TIP: LEARN ALL ABOUT MEMORY
Later.
