Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Object-code Buffer Overrun Evaluator (OBOE) is a security or programming tool by R. Banfi, D. Bruschi, and E. Rosti for the automatic detection of buffer overrun vulnerabilities in object code. OBOE can be applied to operating system components as well as ordinary application programs. It was designed for the system administrator to identify vulnerable programs before they are exploited. Being automatic, OBOE can be run as a background process for the analysis of all potentially insecure programs installed on a Unix system. It runs on HP-UX, Linux, and Solaris. In computer security and programming, a buffer overflow, or buffer overrun, is an anomaly where a program, while writing data to a buffer, overruns the buffer's boundary and overwrites adjacent memory. This may result in erratic program behavior, including memory access errors, incorrect results, program termination (a crash), or a breach of system security.
