Assuming you have the NASM assembler ( http://www.nasm.us/ ): Assemble : nasm -felf64 ExecveStack1434.nasm -o ExecveStack1434.o Link : ld ExecveStack1434.o -o ExecveStack1434 Then Execute : ./ExecveStack1434 This will launch the /bin/sh shell. Object Dump Once you have the object file ExecveStack1434.o: objdump -M intel -D  ExecveStack1434.o

Init... Just as everything that exists has a beginning. Here is a short note to boot up this blog.
