/* TerminatorX V. <= 3.81 local root exploit by Li0n7
*
* Typical local stack-based overflow
*
* Bugs discovered by c0wboy (c0wboy@tiscali.it) from 0x333 (www.0x333.org)
*
* Related advisory: https://www.packetstormsecurity.nl/0311-advisories/outsiders-terminatorX-001.txt

* Visit us: www.ioc.fr.st
*
* Contact me Li0n7[at]voila[dot]fr
*
* Usage: ./terminatorX-exp [-r <RET>][-b [-s <STARTING_RET>]]
*
* -r <RET>: no bruteforcing, try to execute shellcode with <RET> as return address
* -b: enables bruteforcing
* -s: bruteforces by using return address from <STARTING_RET> to 0x00000000
*
* Example:
*
*root@li0n7:/tmp/test/exploits# ./terminatorX-exp -b
