Ah good point. But that would still mean the adversary has to put an address on the stack that already exists. Much harder target, no?

- slededit 9y agoYes but libc provides a juicy and consistent set of code you can jump to. Remember you don't have to jump to the start of a function. ASLR helps this a bit as well.
- beached_whale 9y agoI doubt libc(much of it like printf) or alsr exists on an 8051, maybe more so of libc on an AVR
- slededit 9y agoPowerPC is a harvard architecture. Its not just for small uCs.
- beached_whale 9y agoOoh, cool. I did not know of that one.
