Stack Buffer Overflow: Byte Tape & Exploit Odds

2D byte-tape simulator: watch a payload overflow a fixed stack buffer byte by byte, trip the stack canary, and see the real Monte-Carlo odds of a blind return-address guess succeeding under ASLR entropy.

ControlsSliders set the buffer size, payload length, ASLR entropy (bits) and guesses-per-batch; checkboxes toggle the stack canary and ASLR; Write Payload/Reset animate the byte-tape overflow, and Run Guess Batch fires a Monte-Carlo batch of blind return-address guesses plotted against the theoretical binomial hit-rate curve.

This is the 2D counterpart to the 3D stack-memory column: the same buffer / canary / saved-frame-pointer / return-address layout and the same overflow arithmetic, but rendered as a horizontal byte tape with a live write cursor instead of an orbiting 3D scene, paired with a second panel that independently Monte-Carlo-simulates the real-world odds of a blind return-address guess succeeding once ASLR is enabled — comparing the empirical hit rate over many simulated attempts against the exact binomial probability.

⚙ Under the hood

Write an oversized payload into a fixed stack buffer and watch it sweep byte-by-byte across a horizontal memory tape, tripping the stack canary or corrupting the return address — then Monte-Carlo simulate the real odds of a blind return-address guess succeeding under adjustable ASLR entropy.
