To circumvent stack buffer overflows, programmers create applications that do not allow extra characters to be accepted by a variable making the traditional buffer overflow method problematic. This check can be bypassed by using the ____ method.
A)character hashing
B)nybble-to-byte compression
C)character-set decoding
D)set encryption
