Programs can be updated using

  hg pull

  hg update

  hg revert --all

Emacs can be used to edit files

  emacs -nw ...file....     (is also an alias)

C0.c

====

Add the bigger string and the long is printed out differently.

foo("my string is too long !!!!! \x15\xcd\x5b\x07");

C1.c

====

needs to be called using

  ./C1 `args1-good`

  ./C1 `args1-bad`

or in gdb using

  gdb --args ./C1 `args1-bad`

C2.c

====

called with

  ./args2-good | ./C2

  ./args2-bad  | ./C2

C3.c

====

(shell injection)

called with 

  ./C3

opens a new shell

C4.c

====

Format string attack

  ./C4 "%s"

  ./C4 `./args4`

This vulnerability does not need the defences, but prints out

the string only correctly with `./args4`. The %s option needs

  -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2

------------------------------------

to switch off address randomization

echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space

C0.c

add to string 

  " \x15\xcd\x5b\x07"

to get

  foo("my string is too long !!!!! \x15\xcd\x5b\x07");
