Corrupted Kernel

Posted on December 14, 2017

I was practicing exploiting linux executables with shellcode when after a while i things start breaking with

Execle: Exec format error

After reboot droplet didn’t connect to internet. From dash board console I ran following commands.

$cat /var/mail/root says: /bin/sh: execle: Exec format error

$ sudo service network-manager restart sudo: unable to execute /usr/sbin/service: Exec format error

$ sudo update-grub sudo: unable to execute /usr/sbin/update-grub: Exec format error
