This was by far the best video..... Normally Computerphile tries to address a wider audience, but I personally would like to see more of these kind of in-depth videos.
-
I know this particular video was years ago, but this guy is actually fun to watch. I'm terrible at learning, but he makes sense of a lot of things without dragging on the boring part.
-
I'm a cs major, but I don't normally like watching cs related youtube channels. These videos are awesome though, some of them are things I thought I had a decent grasp on and I end up learning something. I also love how happy Dr. Pound seems when he is talking about something, you can tell he really likes what he does.
-
The sledge/bomb animation is BRILLIANT!
-
This was brilliant. More like it, please!
-
I would love to see a series on micro-architectures, machine code, and assembly
-
Dr Mike Pound, i do not know if you know this but you are saving a lot of network security students with your videos on these subjects. They are incredibly informative and makes a whole subject comprehensible in the matter of minutes. A Great thank you.
-
I watched this a long time ago, but after taking an Assembly class in uni, I suddenly completely understand what he did and why it works! this is an absolutely amazing video as it actually gives an incentive to continue learning low-level programming and such.
-
You can see he is very excited to tell this.
-
I really like this guy
-
for years ive been reading and trying to work out the ins and outs of bufferoverflow i can honestly say this is one of the most simple and effective videos out there on BO well done and Kudos loved watching it (for the 100th time)
-
Thank you! I've never seen this explained in its entirety and there are lots nuances that have always inhibited my own educational endeavors. Knowing GDB, assembler, endianness, no-op sleds, etc were all concepts I understood but could never completely tie together. Excellent video.
-
Absolutely brilliant demonstration. All universities that I know teach C/C++, but they don't teach the essence of software security, which should be pounded into every student's head right from the beginning.
-
This hits especially hard since I just finished my assembly and computer systems class. Great video!
-
Damn! Excellent presentation on how stack overflow exploits work! No hand-waving; a complete demonstration of how it's done, down to aligning the return address and the no-op sled mitigation.
-
Man! How am I only finding your channel now!? This was great. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
-
i love how he explains every topic like its the best in the world... i could use him as my personal coach !
-
What a video! Great job on explaining this attack, I'll definitely be looking forward to learn more of this as I get into assembler at University!
-
I have studied exploit dev for a number of years and this is by far one of the best explanations ever! Keep it up!
-
The way this man explains things is absolutely DIAMOND.
