same here, I’m stuck in “Examine the registers and submit the address of EBP as the answer”.

UPDATE
they should change the question to “Repeat all steps from the tutorial, examine the registers and submit the address in EBP as the answer”

Thank you, Amigo.

I did every step and the page says, that it’s incorrect. Any help?

After what step do you submit? Because by the end of the tutorial, your EBP is 0x55555555, if you swap ebp for eip in tutorial, your ebp is 0x66666666, but neither of those are the right answer.

Its kinda silly to ask questions like this cuz the answer may differ according to the input you give. But following the tutorial “on point” will give you the answer

the answer is written in plain text in the section examples

do not swap them :wink:

Thanks to everyone posting on this… I’m really enjoying this module including the “Take Control of EIP” lesson… but was stuck too until seeing everyone’s posts. The “Take Control of EIP” quiz “Examine the registers and submit the address of EBP as the answer” is asking the student to submit something other than the correct answer. It does not want the address of anything, but instead, as others have made clear, something else related to EBP.

LOOOOOOL another bs question ■■■■. the question is not about running bow and checking the address, nor filling it with whatever you want. you have to fill exactly with the same data that done in the example. which means you actually don’t even need to log in to the machine to find out the address… so badly asked.

I just did the question, it is as they said, they do not want you to follow the steps and calculate the actual of where it is pointing, they want what is actually is pointing to. so they want:
The address the register is pointing to
NOT
The address of the pointer
ITS WORDED SO BADLY, im actually fuming
