Now this is the content I wanted to see
>:)
Honestly, I know basically nothing about hacking, yet this was so digestible and entertaining!
AH ❤️ tysm that’s the plan!! :)
PLEASE I BEG YOU KEEP SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE IN THAT WAY, THAT'S A BANGER
AAAA THANK YOU SO MUCH :"))!! , AND WILL DO :D
I thought CZcams is very poor when we talk about this type of content until I found your channel 🤩🤩
thank you so much for the kind words :’)
Love the way this was put together, very entertaining as well as informative!!
thank you so much! :)))
This video is awesome! Thank you for putting the effort!
Loved the format! Keep at it man! :)
thank you so much, enrique 🥹❤️ will do ! : )
Easily the best video on buffer overflows I've seen. Thanks!
thank you so much for watching
That is the most comprehensive example of how a buffer overflow works that I have ever seen in a video. I have only seen it explained in books on the subject. That was a well done video and most programmers have no idea how important it is to check buffers because most don't know anything about how the processor actually works. This would be a good video for all programmers to see. I am not a professional programmer, it is a hobby interest for me but it is also a hobby interest to learn how the circuitry in the computer at the logic level actually works so it naturally makes since to me how the overflow attack works. Well done.
Todd, I wanted to take a moment to write out a special message for you. Something about your message really pulled on some heartstrings for some reason, so number 1, thank you so much for the kind words, seriously it means so much to me. Secondly, I completely get what you're saying. It's inherently a pretty technical subject to cover, I mean there are so many moving parts and most of them are seriously pretty low-level in relation to the CPU; and the 1s and 0s therein. As you were saying, most programmers have probably heard of these kinds of attacks but since they typically use such a high-level/highly-abstracted language that handles memory management and does garbage collecting for them, it can very easily slip their minds which, 100% downplays the severity of it. It's because of this reason that I decided to make a video so that ALL of us, as a community - hackers, programmers, infantile water lizards, etc. could learn about these kinds of vulnerabilities :) Thank you so much for commenting, Todd. Keep up the great work as well! I hope you stick around! :D
Thank you man this vid show me the whole pic and and imporve my understanding thank you again
This is literally the only video about buffer overflow which made it so simple, i could understand.
Love the video. Amazing. Despiste about all usefull explanation I cant stop think about your teminal theme. Keep going and thanks for your time.
awesome! Fun to watch and listen!
LMAO IVE REWATCHED THIS LIKE 10 TIMES NOW AND JUST NOTICED THE OSRS MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND
BRO LMAO
Love your stuff man. I want to be like you when I grow up :)👍
Nice work buddy, keep it up!
thank you so so much!! :D
This is an amazing video. Thank you!
thank you so much
amazing vid, love the osrs music!!
you can return to a function thats never called in a program ------> *brain implodes*
Great video! One thing about the secure example, although that specific version is not insecure, it's important to note that dependent on the size of your buffer (even if you only read the buffer size in) can become insecure.
When taking input into a buffer with read, it's usually pretty smart to only read untill the 2nd to last byte.
Eg. if you have a buffer of size 200, you read in 199 bytes, this is because read does not supply a NULL byte or anything to terminate the string for you.
Why is this an issue?
If you're for example printing a string where input is supplied with read, and you're printing using the %s modifier. Printf will print untill a NULL byte is hit.
If your buffer happens to be 8 byte aligned the user may fill up the 8 byte buffer completely, without a NULL byte. The printf will subsequently print those 8 bytes and whatever is found in memory afterwards, if whatever is found happens to not be a NULL byte. This is a leak primitive.
As an example I took your secure program and changed the buffer size to 256 and the read size to 256. So char buf[256] and read(0,buf,256).
Output looked as follows:
AAAAA..
:O that was fascinating... (you really DO learn something new everyday xD)!! seriously, thank you so much for such a detailed explanation; I had a blast reading this and will definitely try to tinker with this soon (right now, I'm following the malloc maleficarum and working on the house of force - really exciting stuff!) :D!! AND THANK YOU SO MUCH for subscribing and the kind words, Jens! :')
@@crr0ww heap stuff is where it gets really exciting! Looking forward to see what videos you might make on it!
If you're diving into heap stuff I can recommend using pwndbg instead of peda for debugging btw. As it has bindings for checking the heap and free bins. This makes it a lot easier to keep track of what's going on instead of having to manually parse the heap to figure out what's going on 👌
@@jensnielsen8612 I 100% agree; this heap stuff is insanely intriguing (oh and you best believe I'm going to make a video on heap exploitation :))
I've already got pwndbg running and have been using it religiously recently xD, and MAN is it magnificent :D tysm for having this little interaction with me, jens! you really made my day :)

Hello Crow, I love your content and I just stumbled on it yesterday. One other thing caught my attention, please can you make a mini series showing how you mod(riced) your operating system, and the fonts and zsh shells and theme you are using? It looks so good!

Loved the video, I never really understood buffer overflows even though I have been exposed to it for a while. The video is well structured and the comedy makes the digesting of such technical information smooth.
May I know what OS you're using? It looks really cool. Thanks again for the video, expected to see a lot more on technical/niche cyber topics.

Happened to stumble upon your channel recently, and quite happy I did. As a very seasoned (old) IT guy, I find your videos highly educational, and I love your sense of humor and all the little drawings and such! Keep up the great work!
thank you so much! : ) im so glad you enjoyed it, that's very kind of you
Amazing video!
tltr - can you tell me which programs you have been using to making your videos?
I have been thinking about making videos like yours, but in Portuguese (I’m from Brazil), and with a defensive approach/perspective. But I have no idea how to do it, I just have the content knowledge and some digital notes. What kind of programs I have to learn about, to make an animated video like this
How's your xxd printing ascii on the right? my one only shows hex values in output
Time to write every program in rust 😅
Osrs music made this video 10x better, gg
Amazing 🔥
hehe tysm bro! :D
Hey, somehow I am facing "not found in pattern buffer" when trying to find an EIP offset. What could be the reason and do you have some guidelines where I can look deeper in this EIP process? thanks!
If you have a FreeBSD router, with 1024 rx and tx descriptors is it more or less safe to give windows 1023 rx/tx buffers or 1025 rx/tx buffers?
so we were given a task in university where we should exploit a program with a buffer overflow as we were learning about assemly at that time.
Didn't understand shit so that's why i'm here.
BUT: Can you actually expect to face programs where you can use buffer overflows or is software secure enough for that?

thank you so much!! :D
pretty cool

Hey, at 12:24 the command r < pattern.txt, when r is some kind of alias (as i got it). What is the full command?
hi, the "r < pattern.txt" is the same thing as running "run < pattern.txt" : ) hope that helps

Great explanations! Just curious, does that background music use the Mother 3 soundfont?
thank you so much for commenting! :D ahhh as much as i love the mother/earthbound games and music, I didn't use it here : ( I used music from a game called "old school runescape" : )
@@crr0ww ah i thought the timpani and the high hat sounded familiar but ig not. :)
Hey crow just curious - first time learning about some of this stuff.
What if their are no functions "worth exploiting" if that makes any sense. I guess the idea is that it gives you access to return any function within the program itself and that's beneficial but seems like it could be pointless if their is nothing worth exploiting?
Can you do any function "injection"? That might not make any sense haha.
hey, that's actually more common than what you might think! : ) in that scenario, it's a bit trickier but it can still definitely be done. that's when you'd want to look at something like using ROP for your exploit(s) :) hope that helps

Hello! I am actually learning these stuffs and also about cybersecurity in general as a newbie, and I want to ask something. If you come across this comment, please feel free to answer :3
I have been getting SIGABRT error instead of SIGESEV error as mentioned in the video, been facing some problems for that. Can anyone explain why and how is this happening? and also, how to bring sigesev error as demonstrated?
I have had the same issue. I tried writing more characters into the buffer (for example, 5000 worked for me in the sense that it gave me SIGSEV error, but the contents of my EIP (RIP in my case) register are not repeating 'A's but (vmovdqa ymm1,YMMWORD PTR [rdi+0x1]) instead. I would like to know what the issue is as well.
Edit: I just thought of this, but could the issue be with the CPU architecture, since I have an AMD CPU? Could the difference between Intel and AMD CPUs be causing the difference in behavior?
you should make a video about heap exploitation, or maby a series??
Damn the algorithm is in your favor man
looks like my sacrifice to the youtube gods actually paid off >:)
So even if there is an exploitable buffer in someone code, if you don't have access to a function that is also useful, then it doesn't really matter? Assuming RX/DEP is present?
This video is kinda interesting... although I also find it super scary that I find this video interesting.
ahhh balanced as all things should be >:) thank you so much!
What'd you use to make this video? It looks great
tysm : ) i used davinci resolve to make this (& all my other vids)
Nice video! Stack Based BoFs are cool, but an idea, what do you think about ROP BoFs? I think those are the most triky ones ahahahahah
Anyways, very cool video!!

What about rust binaries? Is it possible?
100% it's definitely possible to have buffer overflows occur in rust binaries; albeit it's a bit harder because rust is definitely one of the more "memory-safe" languages out there (from what i've seen/heard, i've yet to actually program in rust) thank you for commenting : ) !
What kind of shell are you using?
ZSH : ) the terminal is alacritty with a cattpuccin mocha colourscheme hope that helps
@@crr0ww Thank you very much
Could've been made more easier if explained slowly while typing and doing instead of explaining first and doing it practically, later in which we miss some points which are not effectively described. But good stuff if you already know ASM and have a basic idea what buffer is..
Do you use arch?
i do! (arch btw
Does rust stop this?
from what I know about rust (not a rust programmer unfortunately xD), it's a very "memory-safe" language that has a really good garbage collector, a borrow checker, and other mechanisms to prevent attacks like this. Although, you could 1000% still force this vulnerability to occur within rust code
