 | this may seem trivial but i've never really understood how a buffer
 | overflow happens and effects your system, i have some knowledge of
 | programming, but not much at low levels.  like dealing direct with
 | memory or devices(other than using standard pointers and reading and
 | writing to devices thruough file pointers).  anyone to offer any
 | explanation will be showered with greatness!
 | thanks,
 | steve

There was a good article of Aleph One on buffer overflows called
'Smashing the stack for fun and profit'. Phrack 49.
Search the web and enjoy :)
