Ekattor 8 File

Ekattor 8 is not a victory. It is not a defeat. It is a day inside the war, the day when the future became audible but not yet visible. It is the day when a fisherman on the Padma saw Indian MiG-21s fly overhead, their silhouettes like black dorsal fins against a pale sun, and he told his wife: “Ebar ar noy. Ebar asche.” (Not anymore. Now it’s coming.)

— In remembrance of the unsung dead of Ekattor, and the eighth of December, 1971. ekattor 8

What makes the eighth so precise, so surgical in national memory, is its paradox: the certainty of victory had not yet arrived, but the certainty of Pakistan’s defeat had. The air over Dhaka smelled of ripe jackfruit and cordite. In Radio Pakistan’s Dhaka station, the last Urdu announcements began to stutter. A young Bengali sound engineer, Shamsul Haque, slipped a 78-rpm record of Tagore’s “Amar Sonar Bangla” onto the turntable. He was shot two hours later. But for those two hours, the anthem of a nation not yet born crackled across the airwaves, through the static, into the ears of a million people huddled in bomb shelters. That, too, happened on Ekattor 8. Ekattor 8 is not a victory

I have tried, as a writer, to visit the eighth of December not as history but as geography. I walk the streets of old Dhaka — Chalkbazar, Shankhari Bazaar, the alley behind the Armenian Church — and I notice that some walls still carry pockmarks the size of oranges. Pakistani armor-piercing rounds, someone explains. No, mortar shrapnel, says another. They argue amiably, the old men. But on December 8, the argument is quieter. A rickshaw puller in a lungi, his legs roped with varicose veins, tells me his father disappeared that day. “They took him for interrogation at the racecourse ground. He never came back.” He does not say “Pakistani army” or “mukti bahini” or “Indian allies.” He just taps his chest: “Ekattor 8 — ei buke roye geche” (The eighth of ’71 — it remains in this chest). It is the day when a fisherman on

It came on December 16. But the promise arrived on the eighth.

  1. Nice write up – where can I get the vulnerable app? I checked IOLO’s website and the exploitdb but I can’t find 5.0.0.136

  3. Hello.
    Thanks for this demonstration!

    I have a question. With this exploit, can we access to the winlogon.exe and open a handle for read and write memory?

    Kind regards,

  5. Why doesn’t it work with csrss.exe?

    pHandle = OpenProcess(PROCESS_VM_READ, 0, 428); //my csrss PID
    printf(“> pHandle: %d || %s\n”, pHandle, pHandle);
    i got: 0 || (null)

  8. The SeDebugPrivilege is already enabled in this exploit, what you can do it use a previous exploit of mine which uses shellcode being injected in the winlogon process.

  11. Thanks! I found with its hex byte ’03 60 22′ in IDA search and reached vulnerable function.
