How They Hack: Buffer Overflow & GDB Analysis - James Lyne

Following on from the simple buffer overflow demonstration this shows a more focused use of the ability to overwrite data enabling an attacker to control the return pointer and have the computer execute alternative code. We step through a simple binary, identify the flaw and then exploit it. This video will likely raise more security and exploitation questions than answer them (it is a big topic) but I hope that it inspires interest and enhances your understanding a little.
