okay, let's dive into the tryhackme buffer overflow prep room (and buffer overflows in general) with a detailed guide, including code examples and explanations relevant for 2024. i'll aim to cover the necessary background, practical steps, and some common pitfalls.

*disclaimer:* buffer overflows are potentially dangerous. i'll show you how to exploit them in a controlled environment for educational purposes. exploiting vulnerabilities on systems you don't own or have permission to test is illegal and unethical.

*i. what is a buffer overflow?*

a buffer overflow occurs when a program writes data beyond the allocated boundaries of a buffer. think of it like trying to pour too much water into a glass. the extra water spills over. in programming, that "spilled water" overwrites adjacent memory locations.

*why is it a problem?*

1. *crashes:* overwriting critical program data can cause the program to crash unexpectedly.
2. *code execution:* a malicious actor can carefully craft the "spilled water" to contain malicious code. by overwriting the return address on the stack (the address the function returns to when finished), they can redirect program execution to their own code, giving them control of the system.
3. *data corruption:* overwriting sensitive data can lead to data breaches and compromised systems.

*ii. prerequisites*

before starting the tryhackme room, make sure you have the following:

1. *basic programming knowledge (c/c++):* you should be comfortable with basic c/c++ syntax, pointers, and the concept of memory allocation. knowing how functions are called and how data is stored on the stack is *essential*.
2. *linux environment:* kali linux is a popular choice for penetration testing and security research. ubuntu or other debian-based distributions will also work. the tryhackme room uses a linux environment, so it's best to mirror that.
3. *gdb (gnu debugger):* gdb is your best friend when analyzing buffer overflows. ins ...
