While attack countermeasures have been developed to identify a buffer overflow attack after it has emerged, current solutions are unable to identify new attacks or variations on the attack. This is a critical problem given the spread at which these attacks can spread. To solve this problem Check Point developed Malicious Code Protector, a patent-pending technology that provides a new approach for detecting and blocking buffer overflow attacks. Unlike previous detection solutions that rely on a defined attack signature, Malicious Code Protector uses a fundamentally different detection method with the capability of detecting previously unknown attacks and variations on existing attacks.
