Re: How is this stuff found?

For buffer overflows, you can just try dumping a long, long string of data into every function that takes strings of data and see which ones crash.

If a long, long string of data causes your OS to crash (in one way or another, not necessarily requiring a complete reboot), then you've overwritten something and maybe you can use this to your advantage to overwrite executable code.
