Hi,

I recently read about the Linux kernel implementing ASLR to prevent buffer overflow attacks. I would like to have a look at how this is implemented by reading the kernel source code.

Could someone offer a few pointers on where to start looking?(It would make my work slightly easier.)

Thanks,
zm
