# Stack Buffer Overflow Lab

## Overview
This project demonstrates a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability and explores how memory corruption can be leveraged to alter program execution flow in a controlled academic environment.

## Objectives
- Analyze stack memory layout during function execution
- Understand buffer overflow vulnerability mechanisms
- Study how return addresses can be overwritten
- Develop an exploit in a controlled lab environment

## Concepts Covered
- Stack memory structure (return address, base pointer, local variables)
- Buffer overflow vulnerabilities
- Memory corruption fundamentals
- Basic shellcode execution concepts

## Tools Used
- C programming
- GDB debugger
- Linux (Eustis environment)
- GCC compiler

## Files
- exploit.c – modified exploit implementation
- target.c – vulnerable program (provided, not modified)
- report.pdf – analysis, diagrams, and screenshots

## Notes
This project was completed in a controlled academic cybersecurity lab environment for educational purposes.
