Software for Protection Against Code Reuse Attackers

Summary

Researchers at Purdue University have developed technology to defend software code from code-reuse attacks. This technology randomizes the internal structure of the executable code by randomly shuffling the function blocks in the target binary. This tool, called Marlin, implements a fine grained randomization based approach by modifying the layout of the executable code, thereby hindering code-reuse attack. Subsequently, the attacker is blocked from necessary knowledge of instruction addresses for code-reuse attacks. This technology can be applied to any ELF binary and every execution of it uses a different randomization.
