Abstract
Method for detecting buffer overflow weakness exploitation, including the steps of determining a plurality of threshold parameters, each respective to a buffer overflow weakness exploitation event, analyzing a code to be executed, thereby producing a plurality of validation values, comparing said validation values to the respective ones of the threshold parameters, and determining a buffer overflow weakness exploitation attempt, when at least one of the validation values exceeds the respective one of the threshold parameters.
