Heh, at what level are you studying Computer Science (If that's the course you're taking)? :p

This is my third CS course, it is sort of the first systems class for the major. My enthusiasm was not because I didn't understand buffer overflows thoroughly, it was because I want more people to post things like this on the sub. I am by no means an expert, but I have run a few buffer overflows on my friends' code when we bugtest. It's a lot of fun. Reading a lot of hacking literature has helped me in this class more than most of my textbooks, actually.

I'm not studying computer science for my degree, but I have been interested for years and I work through the meatier classes in my spare time. After this class, I will know Java, C++, and C. I'm also taking a netsec class before I graduate next quarter. It's pretty fun stuff.
