      Kfence, Kernel Protection against Basic Exploitation Techniques
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    DETAILS

    Kfence provides kernel protection against basic exploitation techniques,
    including stack and heap overflows and format string exploit, by patching
    /dev/kmem and redirecting system_call to test if the EIP of the caller is
    in the wrong memory region.

    Tool code:
    /*
     * kfence 1.2
     * added .bss exec protection
     * modified extraction of struct distances
     * you need to have a valid System.map on your box
     * tested on 2.2.16 2.4.7 2.4.18 2.4.19 2.4.10
     * Coded by ins1der
     * 2003
     * trixterjack@yahoo.com
