Which of these is not a step a hacker would use to execute a stack-based buffer overflow?
Insert a variable into the buffer to exhaust memory in the stack
Execute a sniffer
Enter more data than the buffer has allocated in memory
Overwrite the return point
The correct response is execute a sniffer. This is not a step a hacker would use to execute a stack-based buffer overflow. The hacker would insert a variable into the buffer to exhaust the amount of memory in the stack , enter more data than the buffer had allocated memory for, and overwrite the return pointer that tells the program word return after executing the variable.
