In this video series we will learn the procedures of Buffer Overflow attacks and demonstrate how one can exploit Buffer Overflows in programs for fun and in especial for profit.
Buffer Overflow series we will look at why buffer overflow attacks happen. We will discuss how the program stack is laid out when a function call happens, then how a buffer can be overwritten if proper bounds checking does not happen and finally how a hacker could take control of the program by overwriting the return address stored on the stack to an arbitrary value. We will use some samples to demonstrate how it is possible to change the Return address by overwriting the stack using user supplied input.
Most importantly, it is “made easy”!
