    buffer overflow

    Hello,
    Can someone show me a quick example of code that performs a small buffer overflow that another driver application would be able to take advantage of the overflow and access a part of the code that isn't normally accessible? I'm just looking for a small explained example if possible. Thanks very much

    No. Go away. Learn to "hack" somewhere else.

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

    I'm not even hacking. I'm taking a security course, and I'm trying to learn about buffer overflows. I know I could find material on the web, but I was hoping that someone might be able to take an example, such as trying to copy a string that's longer than a pre-defined character array and then try to execute that program from a driver app to make it call a function that isn't part of the original intent of the application. In no way, did I say "make me this program so I can hack." Assumptions people always make.
