Ever heard of Libsafe .. ?....
worth investigating i dont get problems from buffer overflow attacks thanks to Libsafe it can them before they can cause mischief ..
Note that libsafe won't catch everything. Specifically, it won't catch buffers used in internal functions, only those used by a few select glibc functions, like strcpy and the like. And even those won't even get looked at if the program is compiled with -fomit-frame-pointer (at least the version I looked at)
Just wanted to make sure you weren't labouring under false sense of security :)
The only truly complete way to be safe from attacks is to make sure the programs don't have bugs
It catches the vast majority of problems ok so not every thing is perfect but something is better than the nothing that seems to be the norm .
