Buffer Overflow Attack

A buffer overflow attack exploits a vulnerability in programs that do not properly check the size of input values. This allows an attacker to overwrite existing variable values or the return address of a function stored on the stack. The document outlines a buffer overflow attack on a program using a vulnerable "gets" function that does not check input size. It then provides screenshots demonstrating the output of the attack.

Stack layout
Information about stack

●
Every process has a virtual memory
●
There is a stack to maintain information in
virtual memory
●
The local variables are stored in the stack of
memory
●
Stack also contain information like return
address of a function.
Attack process

●
Gets is a vulnarable function.
●
It dosent check for size of input values.
●
If size is more it over writes the pre exsisting
variables values.
●
We are going to use this vulnariable function in
a program and attack the program.
