Grsecurity - Security system that implements a detection/prevention/containment strategy
'grsecurity' is a complete security system for Linux
2.4 that implements a detection/prevention/containment strategy. It
prevents most forms of address space modification, confines programs
with least privilege via its process-based ACL system, hardens
syscalls, and provides many of the OpenBSD randomness features. It has
auditing capabilities and a netfilter module designed to thwart
portscans and OS fingerprinting.
