write-shellcode

[Andrew Fast0w <aur0spy () gmail com>]

i am currently learning shellcoding. Am having a problem with the following :

the asm code is a simple write followed by an exit syscall.This is working
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.text
.globl _start

        _start:
                jmp stringaddr

                ShellCode:
                popl %esi
                movb $0x4,%al
                movb $0x1,%bl
                movl %esi,%ecx
                movb $0x5,%dl
                int $0x80
                xorl %eax,%eax
                inc %eax
                xorl %ebx,%ebx
                inc %ebx
                inc %ebx
                int $0x80 #exit(2)

                stringaddr:
                Call ShellCode
                string: .ascii "r00t\n"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Converted the above to shellcode
-------------------------------------------------
char 
shellcode[]="\xeb\x14\x5e\xb0\x04\xb3\x01\x89\xf1\xb2\x05\xcd\x80\x31\xc0\x40\x31\xdb\x43\x43\xcd\x80\xe8\xe7\xff\xff\xff\x72\x30\x30\x74\x0a";

int main()
{
        int *ret;
        ret=(int*)&ret + 2;
        (*ret)=(int)shellcode;
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the shellcode is getting executed b/c the exit value is of the program is 2.
But am not getting the output of the write syscall !

Can someone please explain why ?
