Stack Shield is a tool that provides compile-time protection from exploits that
uses the "stack smashing" technique (based on giving the program an amount of
data that was not predicted by the program developer causing a buffer
overflow).

For detailed info about the "stack smashing" tecnique and the Stack Shield
protection system see the file TECNICAL.

For the version history of Stack Shield see the file HISTORY.

For installation info see the file INSTALL.

For license info see the file LICENSE.

To use:
  stackshield inputfile.s outputfile.s
These files are in assembler.
To compile a C program with Stack Shield:
  gcc [options] -S -o progname.s progname.c
  stackshield progname.s prognameshield.s
  gcc [options] -o progname prognameshield.s
Should be clear that filenames are arbitrary. After compilation you can delete
the two assembler files.
