Buffer Overflow: Protecting Against Vulnerabilities

Buffer overflow is a critical security threat enabling unauthorized access or malicious code execution. It occurs when programs store more data than their buffers can handle, causing overflow into adjacent memory and potentially leading to code execution. This blog covers Buffer Overflow causes, X86 Architecture, Registers, Consequences, Common Attack Techniques, Safeguards, Best Practices, and Assessment...

Buffer Overflow Basics

Buffer overflow is a vulnerability where a program tries to store more data in a buffer than it can hold, potentially overwriting important data or enabling an attacker to execute malicious code. While these attacks are becoming less common due to better security practices, understanding buffer overflows is still vital for beginners in cybersecurity. They...
