Buffer Overflow Browser Simulation ⚠️

Educational demonstration of resource exhaustion attacks through browser tab spawning. For academic study only.

- WARNING: Misuse may cause system instability
- Never deploy against unauthorized systems

Features

• C# Implementation: Windows-compatible resource stress test
• Controlled Environment Tool:

  // Sample attack vector
  for(int i=0; i<1000; i++) {
      Process.Start("chrome.exe", "https://example.com");
  }
  

• RAM Consumption Monitoring: Track memory usage patterns
• Educational Focus: Demonstrates buffer overflow principles

Installation (Ethical Use Only)

1. Clone repository:

   git clone https://github.com/irhdab/BufferoverflowVirus_browser.git
   

2. Open BufferOverflowVirus.sln in Visual Studio
3. Build in Debug mode only

Usage Protocol

# Controlled execution example
BufferoverflowVirus.exe --url https://localhost --tabs 50

Ethical Considerations

Approved Use Cases
✅ Computer security coursework
✅ Memory management demonstrations
✅ Ethical hacking exercises

Prohibited Use Cases
❌ Real-world attacks
❌ Unauthorized testing
❌ Production environments

Risk Factor	Mitigation Strategy
System Crash	Use VM snapshots
Data Loss	Isolate test environment
Browser Damage	Use disposable profiles
