It's official. My own entry in the Hackers Database and everything!
What is the Hackers Database? From the FAQ:
What is the main goal of the Hacker Database? (Known as the HDB)
The HDB is a community oriented database intended to document hackers, phreakers, and people who have influenced the realm of computer security. One major goal is to get factual documentation concerning people who are in the database. Another goal is to get rumors (unconfirmed possible facts) to be listed in the rumors section of their entry. If there are entries or information that somebody would like to see in the database, feel free to contact me or cisc0ninja with the information and your sources and we will be more than happy to make it a part of the database. If there is information that you need censored (such as your full real name) you will need to contact RaT in order to get those changes made.

When Vulnserver was originally released I did say at the time that I would release a tutorial that covers the process of bypassing DEP. That was of course just before I started in a new job and my blog posting regularity pretty much dropped off the cliff. Well the good news (for me, and for you too perhaps) is that now I don't have to write that tutorial, because someone else has already done it!
Check out the tutorial here. Ive only given it a quick skim so far, but based on what Ive seen it looks pretty good.
UPDATE 22/11/2013: Yeah, the link doesn't work any more, and I cant find any copies of this tutorial anywhere else on the web. I have my own DEP bypassing exploit for Vulnserver written, and a tutorial partly done, but its probably a while away from completion given all the stuff I have going on at the moment. If people are really keen to see a DEP bypass tutorial, let me know and if there's enough interest I might be motivated to get it done a bit sooner...
