I was interested in learning ARM assembly language for developing small applications for microcontrollers. I wrote this small piece of shellcode which will write “127.0.0.1 google.lk” inside the /etc/hosts file in a Linux system. I used my Raspberry Pi model B+ for this 🙂
We will be needing the following syscalls.
#define __NR_exit (__NR_SYSCALL_BASE+ 1) #define __NR_write (__NR_SYSCALL_BASE+ 4) #define __NR_open (__NR_SYSCALL_BASE+ 5) #define __NR_close (__NR_SYSCALL_BASE+ 6)
