I will never understand how these buffer overflow exploits keep happening. It is stupid simple to check user input and not allow a buffer overflow. It shouldn't even matter what language it's written in either.

@yoshi314 That response makes no sense. Buffer overflows aren't a good thing ever and there's nothing to understand other than just don't let them happen. As for data types and their sizes, that's what sizeof() and #define are for. Don't use magic numbers.

@Relkond Now days your program would just crash and the OS would be fine. Of course, I'm curious as to how you could have had so many errors like that. A simple comparison or even one op with the ALU and you're always within bounds.

@Relkond How old were you when you got started?
