+\begin{enumerate}
+\item Assume format string attacks allow you to read out the stack. What can you do
+	with this information? (Hint: Consider what is stored in the stack.)
+
+\item Assume you can crash a program remotely. Why is this a problem?
+
+\item How can the choice of a programming language help with buffer overflow attacks?
+(Hint: Why are C-programs prone to such attacks, but not Java programs.)
+
+\item (Optional) How can a system that separates between \emph{users} and \emph{root} be of any help with buffer overflow attacks?
