- This paper proposes a new SSP (Stack Smashing Protector) protection able to effectively protect against stack buffer overflows attacks. The proposed technique is the first effective and practical SSP for Android devices. The system has been implemented and tested on several real devices showing that it is not intrusive and binary-compatible with Android applications, proving that SSP full brute force attacks, SSP byte-by-byte attack, ASLR brute force and SSP Local attacks are not longer possible. The work has enabled to collaborate with international partner Universitat Politècnica de València through Grant No. 20160251-ASLR-NG.
