Protection Schemes
Over the years a number of schemes have been developed to inhibit malicious stack buffer overflow exploitation. These may usually be classified into three categories:
- Detect that a stack buffer overflow has occurred and thus prevent redirection of the instruction pointer to malicious code.
- Prevent the execution of malicious code from the stack without directly detecting the stack buffer overflow.
- Randomize the memory space such that finding executable code becomes unreliable.

Famous quotes containing the words protection and/or schemes:
“Take away from the courts, if it could be taken away, the power to issue injunctions in labor disputes, and it would create a privileged class among the laborers and save the lawless among their number from a most needful remedy available to all men for the protection of their business interests against unlawful invasion.... The secondary boycott is an instrument of tyranny, and ought not to be made legitimate.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“Science is a dynamic undertaking directed to lowering the degree of the empiricism involved in solving problems; or, if you prefer, science is a process of fabricating a web of interconnected concepts and conceptual schemes arising from experiments and observations and fruitful of further experiments and observations.”
—James Conant (1893–1978)
