Get rid of RWX section in binary

Open Thermi opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

Hello,

I'd like to get rid of the RWX section in the binary, because it's, well, a way for an attacker to write executable code into the process. I guess this can be done with some compilation flags. Do you mind making corresponding changes in the Makefile? That would strengthen the process against penetration.

What flags do you have in mind? This is probably an issue with Go programs and not specific to acmetool.

Well, I don't know that, because I'm not that intimiate with Golang to figure that out.
