How to detect Buffer Overflow

Hi,

How to detect a buffer overflow in some executable if we don't have
the source code and have a strong input validation.

For example 'test.exe' accepts the parameter either 'enable' or
'disable'. So if you execute c:\test.exe blahblah ... it would give
some error like please input enable or disable.

Thanks for your help,
Atul
