Hi Ed, I'd appreciate it if you can elaborate. When I hear folks talk about shell code execution, I become curious about two parameters, the false positive rate and the false negative rate. In your research, how many, if any, detected shell code executions were not accurate, and possibly, how many shell code exploits occurred that were not detected?
