Dear All,

Execution Flow Control (EFC) is available for download at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/efc/

What is EFC?

EFC monitors the execution of a program by observing system calls made
by the program. EFC generates a database for each program describing 
its behavioral model. The moment request for execution of a program is
made, kernel also loads program's behavioral model into the memory.
Each request by a program is compared with model data base, if request
agrees with model it is permitted else program is killed. 

EFC is a kernel module, and woks on Linux only.

Sincerely

Bal

Seems very interesting, but how does it affect performance/stability of the system/kernel?

Greets,

Timothy
