Excerpt

Exploiting Stack Buffer Overflows

When to Use

During authorized binary exploitation assessments, CTF-style engagements, or vulnerability research where a native program (ELF/PE) copies attacker-controlled data onto the stack without bounds checking.
When a target uses unsafe functions such as strcpy, strcat, sprintf, gets, or misuses length-taking functions like fgets, read, memcpy, or sscanf with an unbounded %s.
When a service crashes with a Segmentation Fault after large input, and you need to determine whether the saved return address (EIP/RIP) is controllable.
As the entry-point methodology that feeds into ret2win, stack shellcode, ret2libc, ret2syscall, and ROP techniques.
