C/C++ and Buffer Overflow Topics

Buffer overflow, one of the widely used exploit in the last decades that effect the internet domain in large for example through virii and worms. What is the real cause actually? In this tutorial we will investigate some of the fundamental reasons that can be found in C/C++ programs, applications and processors that can generate the buffer overflow problem. Though most of the C/C++ functions/libraries already implemented new constructs, the secure constructs, the effect still can be seen till today. You will see that programmers also must be competent and have the responsibility in building programs or applications that are secure.
