How do buffer overflow attacks differ from mobile code attacks in cybersecurity?

Both buffer overflow and mobile code attacks are designed to encrypt the victim's files and

demand a ransom for the decryption key.

Buffer overflow attacks require the attacker to be physically present at the victim's

location, while mobile code attacks can be done remotely.

Buffer overflow attacks exploit a computer's memory storage capacity to overwrite and

manipulate application execution, while mobile code attacks involve the intentional

injection of malicious code that propagates through multiple systems and networks to

facilitate unauthorized changes.

Mobile code attacks typically involve overwhelming a network with traffic to deny service,

whereas buffer overflow attacks seek to expose sensitive information without disruption.
