Project description:
grsecurity is a complete security system for Linux 2.4 that implements
a detection/prevention/containment strategy. It prevents most forms
of address space modification, confines programs with least privilege
via its process-based MAC system, hardens syscalls, provides
full-featured auditing, and implements many of the OpenBSD randomness
features. It was written for performance, ease-of-use, and security.
The MAC system has an intelligent learning-mode, and all of
grsecurity supports a feature that logs the IP of the attacker that
causes an alert or audit.
