I want to bind an existing process to a socket listenning on a specific port with nc and send input to it (a python interactive shell, an editor...) whatever process, just send a pid and bind it, since file descriptors are meaningless for another process rather than the existing process and can't use /proc/<pid>/fd/0 to send input to process (the fds are just symlinks to a terminal).



The last statement is too conclusive to be true since strace -p<pid> -s9999 -e write can spy STDIN and STDOUT (don't know how)of a process but that's something I will investigate later, from now I want to bind an existing process to a socket and send data to it via a socket.

I'm quite sure SO or reverseengineering SE have other examples for both

  • let's say nano is pid 18541 and I want to send its input over a socket. I have a listening nc on port 5555 and type /proc/18541/fd/0 > /dev/tcp/localhost/5555 I got bash: /proc/18541/fd/0: Permission denied even though I'm root

  • I have been able to send data to another process with gdb -p <pid> with call write(0,"test",4) but I want to bind the process to a port and send data through it (it doesn't matter if I get the stdout or the process in question does, those are details I don't want to delve into right now, just the input is what interests me)

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
