A Buffer Overflow is a type of security vulnerability that occurs when too much data is placed into a buffer, causing it to overflow and potentially lead to a program crash or other malicious behavior. In the world of Snack Security, this can manifest in a variety of creative ways.
For example, imagine a snack vending machine that is designed to hold 10 bags of chips, but somehow gets filled with 20 bags of chips. The machine is now overflowing with snacks, and the user is left with a mess of crumbs and a strong desire for a snack.
Or, picture a scenario where a programmer writes a function that is supposed to hold 5 bytes of data, but somehow gets filled with 10 bytes of data. The program is now overflowing with information, and the programmer is left with a headache and a desire for more coffee.
But wait, it gets even better! In the world of Snack Security, we also have Denial of Snack Service, where a user tries to request too many snacks, causing the server to become unresponsive and resulting in a snack-fueled meltdown.
