< security , programming , tool > (OBOE) A tool by R. Banfi, D. Bruschi, and E. Rosti for the automatic detection of buffer overrun vulnerabilities in object code . OBOE can be applied to operating system components as well as ordinary application programs . It was designed for the system administrator to identify vulnerable programs before they are exploited. Being automatic, OBOE can be run as a background process for the analysis of all potentially insecure programs installed on a Unix system. It runs on HP-UX , Linux , and Sun Solaris .
