No. If that's your concern, simply PUSH the target address and RETurn to it. At least if your processor doesn't simply let you MOVe raw data into the IP.
There is exactly no reason to ever smash the stack to redirect the program flow UNLESS of course you do not have control over the program code, i.e. when you have to do pretty much what those who use that kind of exploit do. But then we're leaving the area of development and enter the realm of... let's say repurposing.
Didn't you get the memo? The resources aren't finite, they're infinite. Oil grows back because it's not fossil fuel. Silly evolutionists, how could it be fossil fuel, the Earth is only 6000 years old!
All that and more. In the consumer environment you're looking at home automation and various gadgets, while companies will certainly want to automatize facility management, physical security and power saving features like lamps that turn on and off depending on where people are, far more accurately than this happens today with simple motion detectors.
There's plenty of room for IoT devices, and all of them are horribly insecure. I'm looking at a very bright future.
An innovative technology company like Apple wants to increase the amount of technology garbage instead of going green and supporting the tinkering and repairing community?
That's so un-hipster! My beard is bristling enough to make my turtleneck feel tight!
That's pretty much what I understood from the summary. Apple products are so insecure that they cannot be repaired without presenting a hazard, maybe we should remove them from circulation.
Real programmers? As compared to the untrue Scotsman?
Look around you and see what doubles as "programmer" today. Ask them how a stack overflow happens and why that is a problem. If I get a buck from you every time you get a blank stare and you get ten from me every time you get a sensible answer, your house belongs to me before the week is out.
Look at the mess internet capable TVs are. Then ponder your statement again.
Most "smart" TVs are horribly insecure. Did that cause an outcry? Nope. And as long as those TVs will just participate in a DDoS while still allowing Netflix to be shown, nobody will give a shit.
Security is not a marketable feature. Nobody gives a shit about security unless it affects him directly. And since IoT devices are mostly used for DDoS blackmail right now, this doesn't even register with the average user.
IoT is a reason to learn a few things about IT security. Whether you plan to develop in the field or go into consulting, IoT means total job security in the IT-Security field for the foreseeable future.
Quite frankly, if you thought Microsoft is keeping security busy, just wait 'til IoT makes it big into the office space. You're looking at security holes and blunders you can't even imagine today! And every single of them are a sweet, sweet, 4 to 5 digit consulting gig!
Too big to fail? Are we there yet again already? Companies being exempt from law because if we could slap them with a fine that isn't but a slap on the wrist, they take our economy with them, essentially holding our economy hostage?
Any corporation "too big to fail" must be broken up, anything "too big to fail" is a threat to the economy in general.
If you can't store data safely, you better not store it at all.
The only thing that needs to happen to clean up this whole mess is to make people and corporations FULLY responsible for any data collected and any damage done to anyone by the data being leaked. You'll see that data snooping end pretty fucking quickly that way.
Start making secure software, redesign the piece of garbage you call an OS to actually have security as something that's not just tacked on and an afterthought and you wouldn't have to cry for mercy now.
I had a 7110. Great phone, eternal standby (seriously, you charged it once a week and it had no problem retaining that power) and back then that spring-mechanism was just way too cool.
Only thing that bothered me, and that eventually broke, was that antenna stub. Without that it would have been the perfect phone. Very rugged, near indestructible (except for that damn antenna) and that spring mechanism worked for a surprisingly long time...
Basic text and phone and nothing else is EXACTLY what I want for the phone that is used for text message verification in online banking. Zero chance of catching any malware.
Yeah, tell him there's still that unpaid bill for the dinner banquet he had a while ago with his buddies, and it's kinda hard to get a hold of him. Should I send it to the Vatikan? I heard his successor is sitting there.

As North Korea has shown, you only need one nuke to make everyone else back off. France should take care of that problem.
As for the US: Where do you plan to get your cheap oil from when you can't bully countries into giving it to you anymore?
Hush! Don't give it away now, they've ALMOST swallowed it!
Faking it and enough idiots believe it?
Yup, dead on.

As if "do as I say, not as I do" was such a novel concept.
They'd probably be what the SA was. Use them while you need them, then cut them up when they get uppity and want a share of the cake.
You know what creationism and climate change denial have in common? Nobody outside the US takes them serious.
Maybe it is time to simply cut the loss and leave them behind. Yeah, it's sad but you can't save 'em all.

The language that pretty much invented to buffer overflow? Yeeeah, I think you might be right.

Oh no! He said ho... file!
Prepare for impact.
Well how would they know what rules to break if no rules exist? You take the fun out of being a three letter agency!
How do you enforce the non-digital one? ;)

Don't try to out-weird me or I retaliate with things you wish you could unsee.
My job is in IT security, and for the longest time this was in criminal forensics. I have seen things mortal men fear to think of.
