PROFILE
Maria Pana
Contributed to the cs-pub-ro/hardware-software-interface and cs-pub-ro/operating-systems repositories by building and enhancing low-level system features, with a focus on cross-platform compatibility and runtime security. Delivered x86_64 architecture support, improved stack protection by enabling stack canaries, and implemented automated testing infrastructure for lab exercises. Addressed memory addressing bugs and refined documentation to improve onboarding and reduce maintenance. Used Assembly, C, and Makefile to update build systems, correct stack alignment, and ensure consistent output across platforms. Emphasized clear commit practices and thorough documentation, resulting in more reliable educational materials and streamlined development workflows for system programming tasks.

Nov 1, 2024November 2024: Strengthened runtime security in cs-pub-ro/operating-systems by enabling stack canaries in the build, coupled with a targeted fix addressing a stack-protector bypass vulnerability. This deliverable, tracked under chapters/data/memory-security, removed -fno-stack-protector from the Makefile, reinforcing defense-in-depth against stack-based exploits.
