So I wandered down to Powell's to check out this amazing new book. 3 out of
800 pages on buffer overflows. Perhaps I'm biassed (because he doesn't cite
StackGuard at all :-) but doesn't the buffer overflow problem deserve just a
bit more attention than that?

Sorry, I just had to rant at someone. A huge portion of everything I see on
the net about security pertains to buffer overflows, and it's puzzling that
this huge book gives the subject so little attention.
