In honour of CrowdStrike's exception at 0x9c, what's the shortest way (character-wise) to cause a segfault by dereferencing address 0x9c?

The best I can come up with is:

int main(){*(int*)156=0;}

Rules:

  • It must be valid C++ (so no removing the return type int of main)
  • It must crash the program

    \$\begingroup\$ Please note that asking for malicious code is forbidden (there may be a more relevant post on meta -- didn't find it). That said, I would not say that a seg fault really counts as malicious code. It's just a bit borderline. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ Shortening it would be difficult, but for only one extra character you can disguise it ;) int main(){39[(int*)0]=0;}: Try it online See assembly \$\endgroup\$
