Bug #: 54672 Summary: \x00 hexadecimal Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.4.5 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P3 Component: c AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: arthur.korkin...@gmail.com Created attachment 28250 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=28250 Informations (Compilation, Source File, Version , Config Infos) Hi, I am learning buffer overflow with the shellcoder's handbook. When I try to overflow my buffer with a hexadecimal like \xFF the buffer $ebp registry contain the ASCII code of \, x, F, F in place of \xFF. I search for an option like traditionnal but normaly it is removed and nothing resolve my problem. I installed debian (On Virtual machine (x64 host) ) and gcc to follow the book. (But I already knew Linux) I hope this is not a bug, but only a misunderstanding of a student. :) Thank you for your help! Arthur Korkinski
