The BRW method is a pseudo-compiler that can transform binaries into "safe" programs by transforming the binary. It copies program onto the heap, inserting checks as it goes. The copy-to-the-heap is to make space for the additional checks. I really like the BRW method, and hope it becomes available.
AFAIK binary rewriting is covered by a patent owned by Rational Software (via purchase of Pure) and therefore cannot be released. brandon s. allbery system administrator, ece carnegie mellon university
