hey guys I try to hack the October and Frolic, but failed in the buffer overflow part. I feel confused that I do not understand what the write up doing. So whether someone can recommend some beginner buffer overflow tutorial?

Hey there,
I have heard that Vulnserver is a good starting point for buffer overflow attacks.
I haven’t tried it yet but as said heard good things about it.

Think there is also an tutorial on the page as well:

Although I don’t really care for the platform, TryHackMe has a fantastic buffer overflow room created by Tib3rius that’s worth creating an account just to access.
