    Lo Again,
    
    Answering to my own post, well yes. Many people have been asking about this
    and that. I'm trying
    to cover a very commong question.
    
    Q: Can't get it to raise an exception when pasting the code with onto a
    telnet 127.0.0.1 80 session.
    
    A: Neither can I. Read the file using c or something and push it over a
    socket this will work just fine on
    a windows 2000 professional sp2. I acctually managed to reach very close to
    the same spot (00AA0061)
    on a Windows 2000 Adv Server running on sp1.. just by pasting the contect of
    the txt file provided onto
    a telnet 127.0.0.1 80 session. For some reason this worked. Dunno why.
    Anyway the spot 00AA0061 is
    empty so you will propably need to fill up the payload abit to slide down
    the codes there. This if you are
    interested in doing so.
    
    Something I'd be glad to hear is about making proof of concept exploits ->
    Many proof of concept
    exploits write files. It's cool, I agree it is. But not very educational.
    IMHO it would be allot more interesting
    to just leave the proof of concept in a state where it's upto the exploiter
    what he/she want's to acomplish?
    Wouldn't it? It's pretty hard to find out where/when/how nicely running
    exploits are doing their stuff as they
    usually are hardly documented at all.
    
    regs,
        JODE
