Introducing ASLR In FreeBSD - Shawn Webb
Abstract:
Address Space Layout Randomization, an exploit mitigation technique which randomizes the in-memory layout of executables, is a feature lacking in FreeBSD that people have been asking for for a number of years. Oliver Pinter and Shawn Webb have come up with an innovative implementation of ASLR for FreeBSD. This presentation gives an introduction and a live demo of our ASLR implementation.
