Setting memory on gdb

There're several tricks on gdb to setting memory.




gdb> set {int}0x0804201 = 1337


Above trick can only sets [1] fixed 4 byte of [2] non-ASCII value.



gdb> set {char[5]}0x0804201 = "AAAA" 


Above trick can only sets [1] arbitrary length of [2] ASCII value.

...And 'x00' append at the end of memory location.




Question.

I'm finding command that can sets [1] arbitrary length of [2] non-ASCII value,

without null character append.



ex) setting memory location 0x0802412 to 0x909090909090 value.



Is there any command that I can use?

  • 0x909090909090 is a long constant that can also be written 0x0000909090909090. I think what you really want is to write 6 bytes of 0x90 and not 6 bytes of 0x90 followed by 2 bytes of 0x00, correct? If so, try set {char[6]} 0x0802412 = { 0x90, 0x90, 0x90, 0x90, 0x90, 0x90}
