It was in a response to an article titled "Detection and Prevention of Stack Buffer Overflow Attacks" (11/2005). Money quote (as they say :-)... "Many of the problems addressed in the article follow from not using appropriate programming languages, an issue Ada solved more than 20 years ago." Thanks! -- Marc A.
