I am on a quest to find other early evidence of buffer overflow exploits before the famous worm of 1988
If you know anything, hit me up 🙏
Fun fact:
💁 The oldest known buffer overflow vuln dates back to UNIX V6 login
💁♀️ It appeared in a 1981 post by Truscott & Ellis (better known for inventing Usenet)
💁♂️ The next overflow vuln was fingerd, 1988
Bonus fact:
🙅 The vuln is a lie (!)
Judge for yourself:
