Re: Writing system calls.

[Peter Jay Salzman <p@dirac.org>]

mark, i believe the link is:

http://packetstorm.securify.com/groups/thc/LKM_HACKING.html

this guy wrote examples of inline assembly.  *laugh*.  it's a LONG

jeez.  when i was 13, i was disassembling and commenting on apple ][ dos 3.3.
didn't have the discipline to write anything quite this long.  i have a
strange respect for this guy.
