This is a notebook for working through The ShellCoder's Handbook, 2nd Edition (Anley, Heasman, Linder, Richarte), wherein things that gives one pause as a shellcoding amateur are documented.

Debian 2.4 Kernel VMWare image ready!
I've created a Debian 3.1 (Sarge) VMWare image, featuring the delightfully insecure 2.4 Linux kernel, after several hours of piecing together the Debian jigdo distribution. It's available here.
Thanks for posting this - I just started going through the book, but using the 2.6 kernel with the examples is too frustrating. One slight issue though - the image doesn't appear to have gdb installed.
Thank you very much!! Greetz from Perú!

DeleteYeah. That seems like a pretty big oversight. Point apt to the archive repos:
Deleteecho "deb http://archive.debian.org/debian/ sarge contrib main non-free" >/etc/apt/sources.list
Overwrite, do not append, and then use apt-get to install gdb.
awesome man!

ReplyDeletethis is excellent!
ReplyDeleteOne question though, how did you get gdb up and running on your image? i tried:
sudo apt-get install gdb
however it prompts me for a cd...
andy suggestions?

DeleteYou can only get the ISO now using jigdo, and that is just a world of hurt since you also don't have the bzip libs installed, ad nausem.
DeleteDo this instead:
echo "deb http://archive.debian.org/debian/ sarge contrib main non-free" >/etc/apt/sources.list
(yes, overwrite the existing file)
Thanks very much, need a legacy vm to practice on.
ReplyDeleteThis VM still fires up, but what's the username and password?
