Defend Memory Corruption

type:audit
Compiler and allocator hardening against memory-corruption exploitation - stack and heap buffer overflows, use-after-free, and integer overflows that attackers turn into code execution (MITRE ATT&CK T1203, T1068, T1210; D3FEND D3-PSEP, D3-SAOR, D3-SFCV, D3-SSC, D3-EHPV). Signals live in the Windows Application log (Event ID 1000, exception codes 0xc0000409, 0xc0000374, 0xc0000005), the Security-Mitigations channels, Sysmon process-creation events, and Linux journald/auditd segfault and glibc abort messages. Gives which hardening flags and allocator settings to deploy, how to verify posture across a fleet, and how to spot failed exploit attempts in crash telemetry. Use when hardening C or C++ builds, choosing GCC/Clang or MSVC security flags, enabling DEP/ASLR/CFG/CET or a hardened allocator, auditing exploit-protection posture, triaging repeated crashes on an internet-facing service, or hunting memory-corruption exploitation.
