reverse engineering techniques for buffer overflows
"Reverse engineering techniques for buffer overflows" refers to the process of analyzing and understanding the vulnerabilities in a computer program that can be exploited using buffer overflow attacks. This involves examining the program's binary code, identifying the specific memory buffers that can be overflowed, and determining the underlying cause of the vulnerability. By understanding these techniques, security professionals can develop effective countermeasures to prevent buffer overflow attacks.
