As human activities moved to the digital domain, so did all the
well-known malicious behaviors including fraud, theft, and other
trickery. There is no silver bullet, and each security threat calls
for a specific answer. One specific threat is that applications
accept malformed inputs, and in many cases it is possible to craft
inputs that let an intruder take full control over the target
computer system. The nature of systems programming languages lies
at the heart of the problem. Rather than rewriting decades of
well-tested functionality, this book examines ways to live with the
(programming) sins of the past while shoring up security in the
most efficient manner possible. We explore a range of different
options, each making significant progress towards securing legacy
programs from malicious inputs. The solutions explored include
enforcement-type defenses, which excludes certain program
executions because they never arise during normal operation.
Another strand explores the idea of presenting adversaries with a
moving target that unpredictably changes its attack surface thanks
to randomization. We also cover tandem execution ideas where the
compromise of one executing clone causes it to diverge from another
thus revealing adversarial activities. The main purpose of this
book is to provide readers with some of the most influential works
on run-time exploits and defenses. We hope that the material in
this book will inspire readers and generate new ideas and
paradigms.
