What is a common reason hackers do NOT need to be familiar with the details of a buffer overflow?
Prewritten exploits are available
Exploits are not needed in the buffer overflow process
Most hackers are not familiar with buffer overflows
Most hackers lack the skill complexity level
The correct response is prewritten exploits can easily found and do not require hackers to be to be familiar with the details of buffer overflows. EDIT: This question is misleading, as a hacker SHOULD be familiar with the details of a buffer overflow. Perhaps not in a great amount of detail for this exam, but any security professional should have a good understanding of how and why a buffer overflow can occur. To not have this understanding, and using these prewritten exploits, puts you into the "script kiddie" category, not a hacker. EDIT: you can use eg. metasploit to generate payload or exploit without advanced knowledge how they are build and how they are working. So 'prewritten exploits are available' is the correct one.
