😈 Buffer Overflow Attack
A buffer overflow is a vulnerability that occurs when a program writes more data into a buffer than it can hold, thereby exceeding its allocated memory boundaries. This behavior may result in the overwriting of adjacent memory areas, such as local variables or return addresses, compromising the stability of the program and, in certain cases, enabling the execution of arbitrary code
