How to modify EIP's tracee forked procee?

Question

I\'m working on a Linux application incorporating ptrace to observe another process which had been created by fork() system call.

Strictly speaking: I want to implement

Answer 1

Yes, it is completely platform-specific. I read a lot of materials which described ptrace syscall and how we can use it to capture the EIP of the next instruction that is going to execute after the ptrace send some request (like PTRACE_CONT) to the suspended tracee. I always see that the EIP value is something like this :

 80484a6:
 80484a7:   
 80484ac:   
 80484b2:
 80484b4:
 80484b6:
 80484b8:

I test a simple code (just print the value of EIP and the corresponding executed instruction). but the result was as you shown below:

EIP: b773cbe0 Instruction executed: c3595a5d
EIP: b773cbe1 Instruction executed: ccc3595a
EIP: b773cbe0 Instruction executed: c3595a5d
hello world 5
EIP: b773cbe0 Instruction executed: c3595a5d
EIP: b773cbe1 Instruction executed: ccc3595a
EIP: b773cbe0 Instruction executed: c3595a5d
hello world 6
EIP: b773cbe0 Instruction executed: c3595a5d
EIP: b773cbe1 Instruction executed: ccc3595a
EIP: b773cbe0 Instruction executed: c3595a5d

what is this (b773cbe0) ??!!! I moved to gdb and viewed the dump file using this command line (objdump -d a.out) the result is something different with previous results

I'm really confused about this.
