Programming@programming.dev•Is there an example program that illustrates how a buffer overflow attack actually executes arbitrary code?English
0·1 year agoThis is an old paper that it explains the basics: https://www.eecs.umich.edu/courses/eecs588/static/stack_smashing.pdf
Today there are a lot of mitigations where the steps of the paper don’t work anymore, but the general ideas should be still valid. I’ll hope you find the example you are looking for in there.
On another note: What is your intention? And can I participate 😈

Actually are brains are plastic and can adapt to our inputs. If we focus our selves to reading long essays then our brain adapts and it will get more convenient or easier, less exhausting to read long essays. If we focus on small tik tok videos, our brain adapts as well and we find it easier or mire convenient to watch these Videos. Reading long essays will get more exhausting then.
So, our brains adapted to the calculator and most of us now are worse in calculating a logarithm with pen and paper then our ancestors. Is this a good thing? It depends. I personally believe, that getting worse at critical thinking, as the report suggests, is not a good thing.
Will I use LLMs in the future? Probably yes, but I will be even more careful with the generated text I get back.
