address space layout randomization (aslr) attacks
Address space layout randomization (ASLR) attacks refer to techniques utilized by hackers to exploit vulnerabilities in computer systems that lack proper randomization of memory addresses. ASLR is a security measure that randomizes the memory locations of various elements within an application's address space, making it more challenging for attackers to predict and exploit these locations. ASLR attacks involve bypassing or undermining this randomization to gain unauthorized access, execute malicious code, or conduct other nefarious activities.
