Abstract

With the rapid development of network technology and the emergence of a variety of applications,network security issues became the top priority of the network applications. This article first explains the concept of buffer overflow,and then from the programming language itself flawed,not robust perspective on the emergence,to the emergence of buffer overflow attacks and principle are analyzed in detail,described hackers using buffer overflow attacks the general process,and according to the type of buffer overflow attacks,software development and program runs from two aspects of proposed buffer overflow attack prevention strategy.
