Integer overflows - the next big threat</a>, |
|
The Malaysia Star - TechCentral, October 26, 2004</strong></font><br> |
|
Interview with Theo after HITBSecConf 2004. |
|
"The next big problem the IT security community faces is integer |
|
overflow attacks... because |
|
the community currently can't see a clear method to circumvent future |
|
vulnerabilities" that might arise from integer overflows... |
|
Talks about the security improvements in OpenBSD such as stackguard |
|
and propolice. |
|
Nice quote on the art and science of programming: |
|
"Technology is getting sloppier. Sometimes art is taken too far |
|
and that's when the science falls apart." |
