goddammit I used this exploit because i forgot my new root password and I didn't realize it alters passwd binary so then I couldn't reset my password to proper one! :<
luckily it doesn't affect snapshots so at least I could revert /etc/shadow and /bin/passwd from old snapshot >.>
how can i compile it in order to run it on android device?
how you generate the payload of the metasploit in hexcode(shell code)?
Any reason why we use 100
as size with madvise
Awesome, saved my old dev computer after I forgot my root creds.
TheBunnyCoder no, it isn´t happen. It means it doesn´t work in your machine
It works but freeze the machine. I think there isn´t other way like cowroot
version `GLIBC_2.34' not found
./cowroot: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by ./cowroot) ./cowroot: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version

When copying
sc
intopayload
, why usememcpy(payload, sc, sc_len+1);
instead ofmemcpy(payload, sc, sc_len);
?sc_len+1
seems meaningless and copys out ofsc
array.
