In a virtual machine, install a given privileged program (e.g., a SetUID program) that is vulnerable to the buffer overflow attack. Write a program to exploit the vulnerability and gain the adminstrator privilege. Try different attacking schemes, one using shellcode, and the other using the return-to-libc technique. It should be noted that many operating systems have multiple built-in countermeasures to protect them against the buffer overflow attack. First, turn off those protections and try the attack; then turn them back on and see whether these protections can be defeated (some countermeasures can be easily defeated).
