* Package name : checksec Version : 1.3.1 Upstream Author : Tobias Klein <[email protected]> * URL : http://www.trapkit.de/tools/checksec.html * License : BSD Programming Lang: Bash Description : A script that tests which standard security features are being used Modern Linux distributions offer some mitigation techniques to make it harder to exploit software vulnerabilities reliably. Mitigations such as RELRO, NoExecute (NX), Stack Canaries, Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) and Position Independent Executables (PIE) have made reliably exploiting any vulnerabilities that do exist far more challenging. The checksec script is designed to test which standard security features are being used. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
