# Buffer Overflow Example
|
|
|
|
***This is an example of a very bad coding practices*** that introduces a buffer overflow. The purpose of this code is to serve as a demonstration and exercise for [The Art of Hacking Series and live training](https://www.safaribooksonline.com/search/?query=Omar%20Santos%20hacking&extended_publisher_data=true&highlight=true&is_academic_institution_account=false&source=user&include_assessments=false&include_case_studies=true&include_courses=true&include_orioles=true&include_playlists=true&sort=relevance)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
#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.
