A novel compiler is described. The compiler is able to view source code of the application in its entirety and can do so from the inside. Unlike other tools which examine the forensic data from an application crash after the fact, from the outside, the compiler of the present invention can provide novel data on function call stacks and function profiles during runtime. The application may be stopped immediately during runtime to prevent further or potential damage, but the forensic data that is collected is focused and can be used to show where vulnerabilities exists in the application and how they were exploited. Hashes are taken of function call stacks and used as unique identifiers or thumbprints which can be used to reduce the volume of forensic data that needs to be analyzed after an attack.
