anyone have any good resources for understanding the basics of all of this?

  The venerable CMU binary bomb assignment covers a lot of useful concepts.

    Haha we just had that last week ( finished Buffer Overflow Lab a few hours ago! ), its definitely helping.

  For level 1 to 3, Google those: system() exploit, never trust user input, buffer overflow

    thanks! I got 1 and 2 before I saw this, but we'll see how I do on 3.

    I'm entirely new to hacking, and as such I'm struggling with level 1. I looked up the system() exploit, and I've managed to compile my own date program, but when I try to read the password from level02, I'm told I don't have permission. Could you point me in the right direction?
    • robbles 15y ago
      Try to figure out how you could trick a setuid program into running your date program instead of the real one.
    • olalonde 15y ago
      Yeah that's not part of the test. Just use your level2 password for the http auth.
