Hi List
Stack and heap based overflows were the traditional methods of exploiting
C/C++ code. then the previously unknown Format string attacks were brought
to the communities attention around 2000. Is it likely that in 5 years time
or sooner we will be talking about an as-yet unknown form of exploitation or
have we exhausted all methods of attacking C/C++ based code/apps?
Mike.
