Yahoo! Protocol: Part 14 - Remote Code Execution?

[tansqrx 0]

Most of the research for these tutorials were created for a research paper that I wrote. It has been a few years ago now but I believe that this information is still relevant. The purpose of this paper was as follows: What is the communications protocol used by common booters? Is it possible to build my own booter program? What causes, at the machine level, the Yahoo! Messenger program to crash? Is it possible to inject arbitrary code using current booter technology?In the finial form of this paper I created my own booter program and investigated if it was possible to basically take over someone's computer by hitting them with a booter and injecting proper code into the attack. What follows is a description of my program and debugger outputs of the resulting boot code.
