address space layout randomization (aslr)
Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) is a security technique that helps protect computer systems from certain types of attacks by randomly arranging the memory addresses used by various system components. This makes it harder for an attacker to predict the location of specific system functions or data, making it more difficult to exploit vulnerabilities and execute malicious code.
