Exercises in Buffer Overflow Attacks

Download the C program below and compile it (or use the compiled version). Enter the digits 123 on the keyboard and press enter. You will see a message with a marker integer which should be 0xeeee and your digits on the display. Now enter 1234 and notice how a part of the marker integer gets suddenly changed. Look at the code and see where the fourth digit is written: over a part of the marker integer. Now write 12345 on the keyboard and watch how the marker is completely destroyed. Not you can look at the assembly code of the little C program. Do you understand why the marker integer is destroyed because the allocated array is written out of bounds? Look where both the integer and the array are located.
