stack smashing protection (ssp)
Stack smashing protection (SSP) is a security technique implemented in software to safeguard against buffer overflow attacks. It prevents malicious actors from manipulating the memory space or "stack" of a vulnerable program by monitoring and detecting abnormal behavior, thus enhancing the overall security and reliability of the software.
