Software... Heal thyself!
Edvard:
Interesting idea, but I'm not sure it's something that should be running on end-user's computers.

I TOTALLY agree. *shivers*
...
And just how does it detect exploits? The article keeps mentioning crashes... a successful exploit doesn't crash the app it's taking over.

Good point.
I think the project in question wasn't designed for that, just outright crashes.
Ninja exploit detection would be a whole 'nother level...
Seems to me like Microsoft devs might also have an easier time of it if they set up a whole roomful of these things pecking away at various Windows components...-Edvard (November 01, 2010, 10:52 AM)

Microsoft are already doing a lot of interesting things security-wise, but Windows is a doyc-damn huge beast... and there's a lot of different ways to exploit software.

True, but if this system is able to crack showstopper bugs on the order of minutes to hours, a lot of stuff could be cranked through fairly efficiently.
But like you said, it doesn't mention stealth exploits, just crashes. :-\
