- Short: Mungwall & Enforcer DB tool w/o MMU
- Author: thor@einstein.math.tu-berlin.de
- Uploader: thor@einstein.math.tu-berlin.de
- Type: dev/debug
-
-
- Purpose of this program:
-
- This program finds illegal memory changes by continously checking the free
- memory. It also protects the memory allocation functions in a mungwall like
- way. An exteral terminal or a interal low-level-debugger (like COP from the
- same author) is recommended, but not needed.
- MemSniff is not a Enforcer-replacement, cause you can't replace the full
- functionality of a MMU, but it does all possible to find memory violations.
-
- It does not:
- -protect memory already allocated, since this is not possible without a MMU
- -protect the autovector functions. This must be done by a virus checker, or
- by a low level debugger like COP.
-
- Since this memory checking is a bit tricky, there ARE KNOWN incompatibilities.
- DO NOT RUN MemSniff permanently, cause it slows down your system considerably
- and reduces the size of the available memory up to the half!
