great post explaining about heap and stack overflows , i was about to bring that up but was beaten to it by someone more knowledgeable,
so was the wii exploit a stack smash or was it a heap overflow that was called a stack smash
i forget if it was or if i am thinking of the ps3 jailbreak ,which is either a heap or stack overflow, i think they are both heap overflows that are misnomers being called stack smash attacks
i remember reading about this but it was awhile ago
i know the ps3 jailbreak dongles work by emulating a usb hub that emulates devices being plugged in and out really fast on different ports in a specific sequence to overflow the heap i think
