Talk:Stack-smashing protection

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Gentoo Linux uses ProPolice according to gcc -v:" Wouldnt that be better put as "Gentoo will use the ssp patch for gcc by default" Since gentoo's packages arent binarys. Stack-Smashing_Protector puts it in a better way --2mcm 21:43, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

Also Propolice has changed it name to Stack-Smashing_Protector aka ssp --2mcm 21:43, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Why is this marked as in need of cleanup?

It looks fine to me. Graue 15:27, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] I've tried to clean this up a little

By merging various articles such as StackGaurd and StackGhost and most of the information from ProPolice into this, and moving things around and elaborating on them. Any thoughts? I'd like to also merge ProPolice into this and make it a redirect, but I'm not sure the two have equivalent information. -- Andyluciano 19 Aug 2005 05:24 (UTC)

Okay, they pretty much have equivalent information now. -- Andyluciano 19 Aug 2005 5:45 (UTC)
