Advanced Malware Detection Techniques

Buffer-overflow attacks began two decades ago and persist today.Over that time, a number of researchers have proposed many solutions.Their targets were either to prevent or to protect against buffer-overflow attacks.As defenses improved, attacks adapted and became more complicated.Given the maturity of field and the fact that some solutions now exist that can prevent most buffer-overflow attacks, it is time to examine these schemes and their critical issues.In this survey, approaches were categorized into three board categories to provide a basis for understanding bufferoverflow protection schemes.
