In this video, we demonstrate a stack overflow happening in real-time using a recursive function in ARM assembly. We visualize the value of the stack pointer as it surpasses the maximum amount of space allocated for the call stack.
You can experiment yourself on a Raspberry Pi or any ARMv7 device, by using the open-source code I wrote here:
