rop (return-oriented programming)

Return-oriented programming (ROP) is a technique used in computer security to exploit vulnerabilities by chaining together snippets of existing code, rather than injecting and executing new code. It involves manipulating the return stack to redirect the program's flow and execute specific actions, often leading to the execution of malicious commands. ROP leverages the presence of small code pieces (gadgets) within the program memory to construct a sequence of gadget calls that achieve the desired outcome.
