PHP Suhosin

Suhosin is an advanced protection system for PHP installations. It was designed to protect servers and users from known and unknown flaws in PHP applications and the PHP core. Suhosin comes in two independent parts, that can be used separately or in combination. The first part is a small patch against the PHP core, that implements a few low-level protections against bufferoverflows or format string vulnerabilities and the second part is a powerful PHP extension that implements all the other protections.
Suhosin is an open source patch for PHP. "The goal behind Suhosin is to be a safety net that protects servers from insecure PHP coding practices." In some Linux distributions (notably Debian and Ubuntu) it is shipped by default.

why is suhosin called suhosin ?
According to some blog entries a few korean people are kinda suprised about the name. They wonder why a german developer has choosen a korean word for his project’s name. The reason for this is very simple. The main developer of Suhosin is interested in korea for about a year now, he enjoys watching korean movies, loves korean food and he learns the korean language for several months now. Additionally the word ‘suhosin’ is quite simple, sounds interesting, describes exactly what the program is and bypasses the problem that most english words are already taken by popular software.
