# Buffer Overflow Demonstration Lab 🔒
A controlled environment for demonstrating and understanding buffer overflow vulnerabilities in web applications. This project is designed for educational purposes as part of secure software development training.
## 🚨 Warning
This project intentionally contains vulnerable code for educational purposes. Do not deploy in a production environment.
## 🛠️ Technologies
- Python 3.9
- Flask
- Docker & Docker Compose
- Threading for concurrent attack simulation
## 🏗️ Project Structure

```
## 🚀 Quick Start
### Prerequisites
- Docker
- Docker Compose
- Python 3.x (for running exploit scripts)
- pip (Python package manager)
### Installation & Running
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/0x4m4/buffer-overflow-lab.git
cd buffer-overflow-demo
```
2. Start the vulnerable web application:
```bash
docker-compose up --build
```
3. Install Python dependencies for the exploit script:
```bash
pip install requests
```
4. Run the exploit demonstration:
```bash
cd exploit
python exploit.py
```
## 🎯 Features
- Controlled buffer overflow demonstration
- Web interface for manual testing
- Automated exploit script
- Resource-limited containerized environment
- Concurrent attack simulation
## 🔍 Testing Scenarios
1. Normal input (within buffer size)
2. Boundary case testing
3. Slight overflow demonstration
4. Medium overflow impact
5. Aggressive crash testing
## 🛡️ Security Notice
This application is intentionally vulnerable and should only be used in isolated, educational environments. The container includes security measures like:
- Resource limitations
- No privilege escalation
- Isolated network
