if I remember you need to setup back the UEF to its previous state, look
it previous state and add a small line of assembly at start of your
shellcode wich will mod back the UEF.

that when using UEF(unhandled exception filter) method it doesn?t work.
The following is the data:

be right but logic says that it must crash at MOV DWORD PTR DS:[EAX+4],
ECX. What I am getting from all this is that I am missing the
UEF(However it is unlikely since i have disassembled
SetUnhandledExceptionFilter function and got the address from there)
because when the instruction access violated UEF should have been
executed and control should have been transferred to CALL DWORD PTR [ESI
+ 4C]. Please correct me if I am wrong or if I am using the wrong method
on wrong OS. Furthermore, when I run the server without debugger and
exploit it the EAX and ECX ends up some where else. I mean to say that
provided data don?t get copied on the registers. Advance thanks for the
help.
