The commnad strings show a bunch of strings that look like the answer to this problem, however these are all meant to deceive you. Set a breakpoint at the function strcmp to see the actual string your input is being compared to.

Our shellcode is 33 bytes and the buffer 68 bytes is too small for a reliable exploit; the remaining space 35 bytes is not enough to be used as a nop sled. We have to utilize the environment variable to overcome this space problem. Save your nop slide and shellcode in an environment variable and jump to the address of the nop sled.
