| macabre 09. Mar 2007 | I have a box that is running glibc 2.3.6 and I think this is compiled for 2.4...any chance you have a box with an older glibc you can compile this on? |
| prout Author 09. Mar 2007 | Ok, you are not the first who tells me about that :-( So, please wait a little while I check on my old Linux distros and reinstall it. I will soon deliver you a more portable version... Thanks for your report... |
| macabre 09. Mar 2007 | Thanks! I haven't been able to run it yet but what you do with the virtual address mapping is very nice! :D |
| prout Author 12. Mar 2007 | :-) It should be ok now. I compiled it under Slackware 11.0 which uses glibc 2.3.6. Tell me if you have any trouble with this version... |
| macabre 13. Mar 2007 | I don't have much time today to look at it but I did test it and it seemed to run fine on my debian machine!! Thx! :D |
| macabre 14. Mar 2007 | Solution submitted. You method is quicker than parsing the ELF header. neat! |
| prout Author 21. Mar 2007 | Good work Macabre. It was my first keygen, and I don't know how to strip an elf, so I modified the elf header with an hexeditor to hide section headers... Since I'm a beginner, I found your solution very interesting. And in fact, since ald seems not to be maintained for two years I didn't think to use it before. See you soon here, I hope... :-) |
| macabre 21. Mar 2007 | There are a couple of things for elf headers. sstrip comes with elf kickers and Elfsh has a method as well. Elfsh is probably best. I didn't use to use ALD until I saw crp- here use it on one of his solutions ;) I'm glad you liked my solution! :D |
| prout Author 23. Mar 2007 | Ok thank you. Actually what elfsh can't do... :-) |
