Hi,

I am learning buffer overflow with the shellcoder's handbook. 

When I try to overflow my buffer with a hexadecimal like \xFF the buffer $ebp
registry contain the ASCII code of \, x, F, F in place of \xFF.

I search for an option like traditionnal but normaly it is removed and nothing
resolve my problem. 

I installed debian (On Virtual machine (x64 host) ) and gcc to follow the book.
(But I already knew Linux)

I hope this is not a bug, but only a misunderstanding of a student. :)

Thank you for your help!
