Buffer Overflow not working

Question

I was trying to do a buffer overflow (I\'m using Linux) on a simple program that requires a password. Here\'s the program code:

#include 
#inc         


        

Answer 1

In modern linux distributions buffer overflow is detected and the process is killed. In order to disable that mode simply compile your application with such flags (gcc):

-fno-stack-protector -fno-stack-protector-all
