    Is there a general method for determining the proper
    offset for buffer overflow exploits?
    
    The context here is a pen test where I have
    gleaned enough information about the target machine
    to know that it is running vulnerable network services.
    I found exploits for these services, but none of them
    worked properly. I suspects the offsets are not correct.
    
    How does one go about tuning these offsets (assuming
    I don't know the exact architecture of the target machine
    and that I don't have any account on that machine)?
    
    Thanks in advance for any information,
    Ivan
