If you need further reference the easiest way would be to check the bugtraq flamew^Wdiscussion archives right now, as there is quite a big thread with people who have programmed/used ProPolice, Stackguard, PaX and W^X (the stuff OpenBSD uses at the moment). If you filter out the 90% rant and the "my-big-dick-software-is-best-at-protecting-your-stack" noise, you will find some useful things about stack protection, and the features of each solution... > Any references? damn. why didn't I write the above here...
