Say, you’re writing a buffer overflow exploit, and you have figured out that you need 1337 bytes of padding. What are your options? Type them by hand. This will be annoying and error-prone (how sure are you that you hit the “A” key  exactly  1337 times? because one more or one less will ruin the exploit). Write a C program to generate them - with a loop and a counter. This will be less annoying and less error prone. Write a Python program to generate them. There it’s just  "A" * 1337 , done. But it gets even better! How did you find this vulnerability? Python is the plug-in language of the Immunity debugger. And how do you intend to deploy the exploit? Python has networking libraries. And HTML parsing libraries and what not. It’s a high-level, easy-to-use Swiss army knife. Guest Author Vladislav Zorov programming enthusiast. Lives in Bulgaria Love my answers?

We IT professionals aware of the epic cold war between Developers and QA's. Developers never accept bug in their code and very often they give some illogical and funny excuses to back their buggy code. When some of the QA Engineers have been asked to share there funniest experiences /conversations with developers, see their responses: Suresh: In my recent project, every time I found a bug, Developer used to say, No user will use that feature so we don't care about that bug :) Next one is lol :D :D :D Ralph: After I reported a “very bad” bug, the developer came to find me and gav
