The `omarsucks()` function uses `strcpy()` to copy the string from `str` to `buffer[]`. The `strcpy()` function does not stop until it sees a zero (a number zero, `'\0'`) in the source string. Since the source string is longer than 12 bytes, `strcpy()` will overwrite some portion of the stack above the buffer. This is called buffer overflow.
