Rationale of study
The author shows with this work how, by building a wrapper that will act as
an intermediary between the client and server programs, different problems can
be avoided. These problems include:
- Buffer overflow
- Protocol abuse/misuse
- Information gathering
- Spam
The author also discusses examples where a wrapper should not be used, and the
reasons not to use it.
