Whereas user-facing applications are often written in modern
languages, the firmware, operating system, support libraries, and
virtual machines that underpin just about any modern computer
system are still written in low-level languages that value
flexibility and performance over convenience and safety.
Programming errors in low-level code are often exploitable and can,
in the worst case, give adversaries unfettered access to the
compromised host system. This book provides an introduction to and
overview of automatic software diversity techniques that, in one
way or another, use randomization to greatly increase the
difficulty of exploiting the vast amounts of low-level code in
existence. Diversity-based defenses are motivated by the
observation that a single attack will fail against multiple targets
with unique attack surfaces. We introduce the many, often
complementary, ways that one can diversify attack surfaces and
provide an accessible guide to more than two decades worth of
research on the topic. We also discuss techniques used in
conjunction with diversity to prevent accidental disclosure of
randomized program aspects and present an in-depth case study of
one of our own diversification solutions.
