Human Expertise Will Always Be The Core Of AI Cybersecurity
Hello Packages, Parsers, and Programs,
Sunday was the 30th anniversary of the Phrack article that described, popularized, and immortalized buffer overflows – “Smashing the Stack for Fun and Profit.”
That’s three decades of unsafe C,
And poorly managed memory.
But buffer overflows are dwindling,
Even if the language itself is gasoline-soaked kindling.
We’ll just move on to the next vulnerability class,
And wait for another thirty years to pass.
Because so long as there is code to run,
There’s going to be lots of smashing and some fun.
