C-Based Toolchain Hardening Cheat Sheet — Runtime

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). The previous sections concentrated on setting up your project for success. This section will examine additional hints for running with increased diagnostics and defenses. Not all platforms are created equal - GNU Linux is difficult to impossible to add hardening to a program after compiling and static linking, while Windows allows post-build hardening through a download. Remember, the goal is to find the point of first failure quickly so you can improve the reliability and security of the code. Attribution: Adapted from OWASP Cheat Sheet Series under CC-BY-SA-4.0.
