• Buffer Exploit

• A collection of laws - Moore's Law, Metcalfe's law etc
• Consider an assignment where the app has a large buffer on the stack and it is copied into from a command line option -- make the size on the stack different based on who is compiling and running the code
• have them exploit a subroutine and explain what would happen if that was in the kernel
