How can I invoke buffer overflow?
I got a homework assignment asking me to invoke a function without explicitly calling it, using buffer overflow. The code is basically this: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> void g() { printf("now inside g()!\n"); } void f() { printf("now inside f()!\n"); // can only modify this section // cant call g(), maybe use g (pointer to function) } int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { f(); return 0; } Though I'm not sure how to proceed. I thought about changing the return address for the program counter so that it'll proceed directly to the address of g(), but I'm not sure how to access it. Anyway
