     9 \begin{enumerate}

    10 \item Assume format string attacks allow you to read out the stack. What can you do

    11 	with this information? (Hint: Consider what is stored in the stack.)

    12 

    13 \item Assume you can crash a program remotely. Why is this a problem?

    14 

    15 \item How can the choice of a programming language help with buffer overflow attacks?

    16 (Hint: Why are C-programs prone to such attacks, but not Java programs.)

    17 

    18 \item (Optional) How can a system that separates between \emph{users} and \emph{root} be of any help with buffer overflow attacks?
