Stack-Buffer-Overflow

This would be a bit similar to the stack0 challenge that we already tackled earlier, but it will think about an interesting way to get alternate code to execute instead of just modifying data. Pre-requisite: Make sure you’ve completed the Part 1 of the Practical Reverse Engineering Tutorials series. It’d also be great if you can try stack1-stack3 challenges on your own as they are similar to stack0. [Read More]

This series will take a different approach of picking up various challenges in the order of increasing difficulty and help the reader in exploring ways how to break them. [Read More]
