What does DieHard do?

Emery Berger - DieHard FAQs
DieHard prevents some nasty errors - ones that crash programs and lead to security vulnerabilities. These are memory errors, including double-frees & heap corruption (which DieHard eliminates), and dangling pointer errors (or stale pointers) and heap buffer overflows (which DieHard makes unlikely to have any effect).

Does DieHard prevent all crashes? If not, what does it prevent?

Emery Berger - DieHard FAQs
No, although that would be nice. DieHard completely prevents particular memory management errors from having any effect (these are "double frees" and "invalid frees"). It dramatically reduces the likelihood of another kind of error known as "dangling pointer" errors, and lowers the odds that moderate buffer overflows will have any effect. It prevents certain library-based heap overflows (e.g., through strcpy), and all but eliminates another problem known as "heap corruption."

Does DieHard protect only programs launched after it is activated?

Emery Berger - DieHard FAQs
I see that DieHard runs multiple copies of a program and "votes". How many copies of a program are running at the same time? There is a version of DieHard for Linux that runs multiple replicas simultaneously, and then you can choose how many replicas you would like to run. However, the Windows version runs just one copy of your program.

In addition to supporting nearly any application for Linux and Solaris, DieHard currently protects Firefox on Windows XP and 2003. DieHard works with Firefox versions 1.5.0.9 and higher, as well as version 2.0.0.1.

How does DieHard differ from Vista's, OpenBSD's, and Linux's "address space randomization"?

Emery Berger - DieHard FAQs
Address space randomization places large chunks of memory (obtained via mmap / VirtualAlloc) at different places in memory, but leaves unchanged the relative position of heap objects. Linux adds some checks for particular memory management errors (and then aborts the program). Long technical answer: OpenBSD (a variant of PHKmalloc) does some of what DieHard's allocator does, but DieHard does much more.

Can DieHard protect any other application than Mozilla?

Emery Berger - DieHard FAQs
On Windows, the DieHard protection system currently supports Mozilla only; we plan to add more applications soon. On Linux, DieHard can protect any application. In addition, programmers using DieHard (on Windows or Linux) can protect any application they are developing. My security program claims that the DieHard zip file contains a virus - can that be true? Absolutely not.

All the other males and females are either workers or soldiers. Workers search for food and help build nests for the queen. Soldiers are larger than workers and remove dirt from the tunnels and defend the colony against predators. Mostly the rufous-beaked snake. If a snake tries to enter a tunnel, the soldiers block it with dirt. If they can't block it quickly, a soldier will sacrifice itself by letting the snake eat her or him.
