Which technique randomizes the memory address map with Memory Exploit Mitigation?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization) is a security technique used in Memory Exploit Mitigation that randomizes the memory address map for processes. By placing key data areas at random locations in memory, ASLR makes it more difficult for attackers to predict the locations of specific functions or buffers, thus preventing exploitation techniques that rely on fixed memory addresses.

How ASLR Enhances Security:

ASLR rearranges the location of executable code, heap, stack, and libraries each time a program is run, thwarting attacks that depend on known memory locations.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

ForceDEP (Option A) enforces Data Execution Prevention but does not randomize addresses.

SEHOP (Option B) mitigates exploits by protecting exception handling but does not involve address randomization.

ROPHEAP (Option D) refers to Return-Oriented Programming attacks rather than a mitigation technique.

I'm not sure, but I think it's either A) ForceDEP or C) ASLR.

ASLR, of course! It's like playing 'Where's Waldo' with the memory, but for hackers. Good luck finding that stack or heap now!

Definitely ASLR, that's the memory randomization technique that's used to mitigate memory exploits. I remember learning about that in my security class.

ASLR is the answer, it's the one that scrambles the memory addresses to make it harder for attackers to predict where things are in memory.

I'm pretty sure it's ASLR, that's the one that randomizes the memory layout to prevent memory exploits, right?
