what exactly is a buffer overflow?? and if i found one, what would it look like??

This happens when more data is put into a buffer or holding area, then the buffer can handle. This is due to a mismatch in processing rates between the producing and consuming processes. This can result in system crashes or the creation of a back door leading to system access.

how would i know if i found a buffer overflow, it would just crash??

hey can someone make an RSS feed (or know of one) with a tif image that will overflow the PSP. maybe the tif image exploit may make a come back.

not sure if the tiff overflow will work on the psp again in a higher firmware but there is other picture overflow's that freeze ur psp but fanjita and other dev's looked into it and it was concluded that there is nothing that they can do with those but freeze your psp

It tink its when the buffer is overflowed because the buffer thingy ma jig tinks the data is smaller than it already is then you can run arbitary code in the buffers memory, erm actually do listen to me i am the stupid
