In the world of software development the term ‘optimization’ is generally reason for experienced developers to start feeling decidedly nervous, especially when a feature is marked as an ‘easy and …read more Continue reading The Performance Impact of C++’s `final` Keyword for Optimization
The top three programming languages – C++, C and Python – remain the same, while Fortran rises. Continue reading TIOBE Index News (April 2024): PHP’s Popularity Declining
I tried to use c++20 standard modules with VS (v17.9.5), without success, but it is certainly only an IDE feedback issue.
But I have still some questions, if someone already use it on a big project (> 2Millions of LOC across many librar… Continue reading Looking for feedbacks about c++20 modules [migrated]
Is Crow ( https://github.com/CrowCpp/Crow ) a secure HTTP C++ library to use? Consider that Crow could host an HTTP server behind an HTTPS proxy such as Apache2/nginx, so ignore whether Crow is not hosting a HTTP/HTTPS server.
Are there an… Continue reading Is Crow C++ Secure to use? [closed]
I’m working on a CTF challenge that involves exploiting a double-free vulnerability to modify the value of a specific global variable, PASSWORD, in a C program. The program allows for custom memory allocation and deallocation within a pred… Continue reading How to Exploit Double-Free Vulnerability to Overwrite a Specific Variable in C?

I’m learning binary exploitation with the picoCTF challenges. I solved Stonks, but I’m trying to learn more about how the stack works.
What I did was the following:
checked out the source, here is the vulnerable snippet
