Although it's still possible to do the whole mmap()/mprotect() thing to
*still* get an executable, I'd classify it as "some thought and skill
required" as opposed to "type this command line".  It's not almost-impossible,
but I'd rate it a notch above "trivial"....

you mean, until someone writes a tool that automates the whole
process to become as simple as "type this command line"?

Straw man, as *EVERY* exploit is that same way. :)

what are you talking about? do you agree that automating the
ret2libc/mprotect exploit method puts it at the same level
of easyness (read: triviality) as running ld-linux.so or not?
it's hard to deduce from your response.
