Hello,
I am new to the scripting world and am by no way a coder just yet. I've been reading up on it but I am still very new.
My brother gave me his old Practical exam to learn from and its been fun. I've performed a successful MITM Attack and learned how to extract a shadow file and crack them using john.
I'm currently learning how to try to gain privilege escalation and i've been researching CVE-2004-0077 and per Bugtraq I've found mrep_poc_2.c
I've tried reading the code but its beyond my understanding.
When trying to compile I get the following:
./remap_poc_2.c: line 1: /bin: is a directory
./remap_poc_2.c: line 2: syntax error near unexpeected toekn '('
./remap_poc_2.c: line 3: '*Proof-of-concept code for do_remap() #2'
I'm not asking for someone to give me an answer or anything but just an understanding of what type of error this is throwing out at me so I can get good at this. One day I'd like to be like you guys after a few books and classes but one step at a time.
My brother said this was a great start and I could use it to get a CPT Certification one day.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
