Well, if you want to learn more about the backgrounds (assembler programming/debugging) of stack overflows on linux systems and want to read an excellent article get the latest phrack magazine issue #49, article 14 by aleph one, the most com- plete article i have ever seen, great job! (phrack49.zip) but if you are not interested in understanding hundreds of lines pure i80386 (disassembled) assembler code and want to have a more practical guide, continue reading this article in order to easily learn how to use overflow exploits on various unix systems.
