Protect Linux application against hackers, together with anti-virus protection and firewalls

A Buffer overflows is a serious security problem. It allows an attacker
to inject executable code of their choice into an already-running
application. This ability to run arbitrary code at certain memory
addresses is dangerous as attacker being able to execute the
instructions from anywhere in memory.



This howto explains
use of DieHard software to protect popular application such as Mozilla
firefox. It protects applications from as-yet unfixed bugs and security
vulnerabilities that exploit them. Think of DieHard as a new line of
defense against hackers, together with anti-virus protection and
firewalls.
