Buffer overflow steps / explanation from other sources

from http://netsec.ws/?p=180

Step 1. Typical memory layout.

Step 2. Attackers input exceeds user buffer. Test it manually or create pattern for specific size using pattern_create.rb or one line python script to test with alphabets A, b & C


Step 3a. Correctly handled – Attackers input get truncated to the buffer and can’t overwrite anything.

Step 3b. Incorrectly Handled – Attackers input overwrites the buffer and EIP, causing it to jump to an invalid memory address and crash: & create pattern using pattern_offeset to find offset

Step 4. Attacker creates tailored input :  create shellcode may be using msfvenom


Step 5. Attackers input overwrites EIP with their own address pointing to the start of their shellcode: script using buffer, nops and return address
