Stack canaries, named for their analogy to a canary in a coal mine, are used to detect a stack buffer overflow before execution of malicious code can occur. This method works by placing a small integer, the value of which is randomly chosen at program start, in memory just before the stack return pointer.
The RFC specifies this code should be returned by teapots requested to brew coffee. [18] This HTTP status is used as an Easter egg in some websites, such as Google.com's "I'm a teapot" easter egg. [19] [20] [21] Sometimes, this status code is also used as a response to a blocked request, instead of the more appropriate 403 Forbidden. [22] [23]
A 3.0L displacement version, with common-rail fuel injection, four-valve-per-cylinder heads, and 160 hp (119 kW) (wastegate turbo), is the electronic version of the Power Stroke. It has only the block and connecting rods in common with 2.8L Power Stroke. The 4.5L Power Stroke was a V6 Power Stroke with the same turbo design as a 6.4L.

Canaries or canary words or stack cookies are known values that are placed between a buffer and control data on the stack to monitor buffer overflows. When the buffer overflows, the first data to be corrupted will usually be the canary, and a failed verification of the canary data will therefore alert of an overflow, which can then be handled, for example, by invalidating the corrupted data.
Visualization of a software buffer overflow. Data is written into A, but is too large to fit within A, so it overflows into B.. In programming and information security, a buffer overflow or buffer overrun is an anomaly whereby a program writes data to a buffer beyond the buffer's allocated memory, overwriting adjacent memory locations.
Stack Overflow is a question-and-answer website for computer programmers. It is the flagship site of the Stack Exchange Network. [2] [3] [4] It was created in 2008 by Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky. [5] [6] It features questions and answers on certain computer programming topics.
