Description

Runs a regression test suite for PaX-style memory protection behavior. Security testers and system administrators use it to check how a system responds to exploit-mitigation tests.

Use it on test systems or during hardening reviews. Security tests may intentionally trigger suspicious behavior or crashes, so avoid running them blindly on production machines.
