Over and Over?

Level 1

You have to give input to a C program which gives you the length of the string. How would you crash it?
here is the function:


void blah(char *str)
 {
         char lol[200];
         strcpy(lol, str);
 }

Solution:

1. This program utilizes the strcpy function call. And since the limited length of the character string is 200, we could input a string with length greater than 200 to crash the C program.
2. Input '111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111' and check.
3. It's done!
