# Buffer Overflow Example
|
||
|
|
***DO NOT USE THIS CODE METHODOLOGY***
|
||
|
|
This is an example of a very bad coding practice that introduces a buffer overflow.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
#include <stdio.h>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
void secretFunction()
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
printf("Omar's Crappy Function\n");
|
||
|
|
printf("This is a super secret function!\n");
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
void echo()
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
char buffer[20];
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
printf("Please enter your name:\n");
|
||
|
|
scanf("%s", buffer);
|
||
|
|
printf("You entered: %s\n", buffer);
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
int main()
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
echo();
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
return 0;
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `char buffer[20];` is a really bad idea. The rest will be demonstrated in the course.
