tutorial
This article explains how buffer overflow vulnerabilities work, demonstrating how attackers craft malicious input to overwrite stack memory, particularly return addresses, to execute arbitrary code. It covers the mechanics of stack buffer overflows, practical examples in C, and discusses modern OS-level and compiler-based prevention techniques like DEP, ASLR, and stack canaries.
