Firmware 3: Buffer Overflow Part 2 (Hijack The Execution)

Buffer overflow is a security vulnerability primarily associated with programming languages like C and C++. It occurs when there is no validation on data input, allowing the program to write more data to a buffer than it can hold. This excess data can overwrite adjacent memory locations, leading to unpredictable behavior or system crashes. Exploiting buffer overflows can allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, modify data, or crash the program. In this video, we demonstrate a scenario where an attacker uses buffer overflow to hijack the execution and call a function of their choice.
