(I had to remove the "-O2" from CFLAGS to prevent a crash.)
I couldn't reproduce that crash.  Are you just running it as
'./sshblaster2 sship.txt'?

Yep. When "-O2" is in CFLAGS, it dies in strlen():

It still doesn't crash for me. Oh, wait, yes it does if I re-enable the fork and use 127.0.0.1. More on that below.

(I never saw any "More on that below" about this strlen() crash :-) )

Erm, it was below. In fact, it's the part you quoted below.

Breakpoint 1, string_from_char (what=0x682d7573 <Address 0x682d7573
out of bounds>) at string.c:41

0x682d7573 is "h-us", which only shows up in the code in the
"ssh-userauth" string in ask_userauth in auth.c. Sounds like
something's smashing the stack. (Random tip: Whenever you crash with a
bad address, see if it looks like ASCII. If it does, you're probably
crashing somewhere vaguely near where you referenced a string with
those characters.)


Yep. Mac OS X's OpenSSL build appears to have AES support, so we use a
blocksize of 16 in packet_read() in packet.c. That causes
completeread() to overflow the 8-character buffer variable from
packet_read. Change packet_read's buffer[8] to buffer[16] and things
are much happier.

I made that change, but it had no effect - it still crashes at:

No, it did have an effect. It fixed the strlen crash. It apparently doesn't fix the other crash you're seeing. But again, that's on a printf that doesn't exist in the file you pointed us at. It's really quite difficult to figure out what's wrong when we're using different files. I put a printf at the same spot that seems similar to yours and it works fine for me.


At this point I'm stumped, it basically runs through 5 loops and
then croaks at the start of the 6th:

This doesn't reproduce for me. It's been running for about 15 minutes now, continuously printing out the same list of method names. I'm happy to help debug this further, but only if I can actually debug the same code you're running.
