The Buffer Overflow lab was designed to teach foundational skills in exploiting buffer overflow vulnerabilities in vulnerable software. By targeting the TRUN command in vulnserver, we learned how to ...

In cybersecurity, the term “exploit” is used to represent a piece of code, data or sequence of commands that takes advantage of a vulnerability. This code is usually broken up into three distinct ...

Zeratool now supports remote libc leaking with buffer overflows. When a puts or printf call is present, Zeratool will leak out remote GOT entries and submit them to an online libc searching database ...

A few weeks ago, we published a challenge relating to the exploitation of a simple buffer overflow in Linux. In the published solution, it was noted how it was possible to change the execution flow of ...

Buffer overflows have been a serious security problem for software developers for several decades now, but the history of exploitation research on this class of flaws is relatively short. Buffer ...

An unpatched buffer overflow flaw allows remote attackers to completely take over the device and enter the home network. A vulnerability in a popular Wi-Fi–connected electric outlet for smart homes ...

A buffer overflow or overrun is a memory safety issue where a program does not properly check the boundaries of an allocated fixed-length memory buffer and writes more data than it can hold. This ...

Researchers last week revealed an unpatched buffer overflow bug in Windows that could allow an attacker to take control of an affected machine. The GoodFellas Security Research Team on Friday ...
