Hacking 101: Unraveling Buffer Overflow & Long Password DoS Attacks. 💭 🔐 Understanding Vulnerabilities That Could Cost You. 📜 I am exploring Buffer Overflow Vulnerability & Long Password DoS Attack in detail What is Buffer Overflow ? 💭 🎫 👉 Imagine a cup overflowing with water. In a computer, a "buffer" is like a container holding data. When you try to put more data into the buffer than it can hold, it "overflows," corrupting other important data and potentially crashing the system. 👉 By testing for buffer overflows, developers can identify and fix these vulnerabilities before malicious actors exploit them to gain unauthorized access or cause system crashes. What is Long Password DoS Attack ? 🔐 ✅ 👉 This attack exploits the fact that many systems have limitations on password length. By sending a flood of login attempts with extremely long passwords, an attacker can overwhelm the system, making it unresponsive for legitimate users. 👉 Testing for this vulnerability helps identify and adjust system configurations (like password length limits) to mitigate the risk of a denial-of-service attack. ❓ Want to know how to protect yourself from these cyber threats?
