  Intel's Prescott To Close Off Widely Used Hacker Route
Time: 04:15 EST/09:15 GMT | News Source: CRN | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner

Later this year, Intel will turn on a security feature within its newest Pentium 4 processors -- dubbed "Prescott" after the code name of the chip family -- that will block buffer overflows, one of the most widely used hacker attack avenues.

Prescott supports the NX -- for "no execute" -- feature that blocks worms and viruses from executing code after creating a buffer overflow on the machine, said Paul Otellini, Intel's president and chief operating officer in a Webcast Thursday of the company's spring analyst meeting.
