Oh and I am a hacker.... not a cracker
People that tend to label themselves as part of a group are usually doing it to look cool. Often look for a quick easy way to do stuff because they don't care enough to actually learn; skiddies. Basically what TS is saying as well.

Actually buffer overflows in general is just inserted input. It goes on to a point where memory becomes corrupt and when that happends things tend to overwrite... the egg is usually reffered to what will replace the value of the variable in the program or whatever.
I never knew that. Thank you very much TS.
