Well for now I have written a 12 page doc praying the goodness of |
2 |
Gentoo Hardened. |
3 |
|
4 |
On that document I explain how two common attacks (Buffer overflow and |
5 |
Null Pointer Dereference exploit) work and the implications they have. |
6 |
After that I expose how the toolchain improvements act against them |
7 |
and expose, along with that, other kernel protection methods provided |
8 |
by grsecurity. Finally I expose a table with an estimation of the new |
9 |
risk of an attack after enabling them and write a few lines about the |
10 |
possible incompatibilities which may arise. |

I hope you like it and would also like your comments. |

Also ask for excuses because maybe the document has a few imprecisions |
15 |
or white lies due to a bad understanding, feel free to outline them |
16 |
to. |
