Anatomy of a Buffer Overflow Attack
Speaker: Rob Gillen
Twitter: @argodev
Blog: rob.gillenfamily.net

Honestly, this talk was over my head due to my lack of knowledge of low level programming, and I think that most of the other attendees would agree. However I did get the basic concepts that we was trying to get across. Fortunately most high level programming languages handle most of the low level concerns regarding preventing buffer overflow attacks. What I got from this talk was to validate all input data from external sources.
