What security features would you like to see turned on by default?

- tedunangst 12y agoStack protector for one. Though they finally did that. http://marc.info/?l=freebsd-stable&m=141495893928493&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=freebsd-stable&m=141495893928493&w=2
- stock_toaster 12y agoYeah. Just saw that recently too. Good news! ASLR is apparently around the corner+ as well. Didn't OpenBSD get ASLR in 2008 or something like that? It only took 6 years for FreeBSD to get it.... >_< +for some definition of corner.
- tedunangst 12y agoFirst OpenBSD commit to add ASLR was Sep 2003. Released in 3.5 on May 1 2004 (also the first release to support amd64).
