Unfortunately I have been losing interest in working on PCF Hacker and it looks like it will be awhile before any updates are made to this project. I have started to work on a new method for the prevention and detection of stack-based buffer overflow attacks. I will be pursuing this project until about the end November at which point I am hoping to submit a paper and just maybe a patent on the method. Stack-based buffer overflow attacks are the most common security issues exploited by viruses and worms. I will come back to PCF Hacker eventually, but it might not be until after I graduate in May 2009.
