Strings can get you hacked! (buffer overflows, strcpy, and gets)

Strings are basic, but they also cause so many security problems, like buffer overruns, that new programmers usually don't understand or recognize. This video shows how careless string operations can make your code vulnerable to attack and gives some tips about what you can do to make your software more secure.

Welcome to my channel.. I post videos that help you learn to program and become a more confident software developer. I cover beginner-to-advanced systems topics ranging from network programming, threads, processes, operating systems, embedded systems and others. My goal is to help you get under-the-hood and better understand how computers work and how you can use them to become stronger students and more capable professional developers.

About me: I'm a computer scientist, electrical engineer, researcher, and teacher. I specialize in embedded systems, mobile computing, sensor networks, and the Internet of Things. I teach systems and networking courses at Clemson University, where I also lead the PERSIST research lab.
