The countermeasures to a buffer overflow are as follows:

*
* Take compiler support. For example, Java automatically checks if an array index is within the proper bounds. Use compilers such as Java instead of C to avoid buffer overflow attacks. Use tools such as StackGuard and Immunix System to avoid buffer overflows.
A cross site scripting attack works in the following manner: * The attacker identifies a web site that has one or more XSS bugs for example, a web site that
The purpose of this paper is to outline the security measures being taken by vendors to prevent such attacks in their home routing products, what those security measures accomplish, and
