Offset

[haZard0us <hazard0us.pt () gmail com>]

Hello all,

I'm starting to research how to exploit buffer overflows but there is a 
concept that i'm not understanding so well. I know that this may not be 
the proper ML to ask, but i guess i can find the answer here.

I've seen a lot of examples refering the return address being calculated 
using the (esp - offset) value. My question is: what is, exactly, the 
offset?

Thanks in advance,
haZ
