Clang hardening

While improving the documentation (d’oh!) of our home grew obfuscator based on LLVM, we wrote a cheat sheet on clang’s hardening features, and some of ld ones. It turns out existing hardening guides generally focus on GCC, while Clang also has an interesting set of hardening features. So let’s share it in this blog post!
Note0: Everything in this post is based on Clang/LLVM 3.7
Note1: Debian provides a very interesting hardening guide here: https://wiki.debian.org/Hardening
Note2: This post does not cover the use of Asan. Unlike the options presented here, it’s unlikely to go into release build, rather in debug builds.
