What you'll do

In this lab, we will look at how to exploit a binary when NX is turned on.

  • NX is a protection mechanism that prevents execution on the stack.
  • This would defeat any exploits that require placing the shellcode on the stack and jumping control to it.
  • The main way of dealing with a non executable stack is to use the program's own code against itself.
