nice to see phrack back again. I still remember "Smashing the stack for fun and profit", the article that back in the days made me have an epiphany about C, pointers and memory in general.


I re-read that article just a couple weeks ago to help complete a work-related security challenge!

I also had to disable ASLR (echo 0|/proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space) and the executable was 32-bit. A lot has changed since those days :)


I forgot about that, will need to see how that works on OpenBSD :)

I expect failure for me.


I remember listening to a CCC presentation around 23C3 with a very similar title, which basically did the same for me.


Yeah, in these circles "for fun and profit" rivals the "considered harmful" of the larger community.


Concatenating, we get politically correct society: Fun and profit considered harmful.


Or Considering harm for fun and profit?
