Analyzing The Stack-Based Buffer Overflow Problem.

It is interesting to know that a buffer overflow problem still exist today despite of many researches have been conducted in a period of more than 20 years. This study takes an opportunity to analyze one of the dominant buffer overflow problem type, a stack-based buffer overflow. A controlled experi...
