tamper detection and self-modifying code
Tamper detection refers to the process of detecting unauthorized modifications or tampering attempts on a piece of software or system. It involves implementing mechanisms that can identify changes made to the code, configuration, or data, allowing for appropriate actions to be taken. Self-modifying code, on the other hand, refers to software code that can modify itself during runtime. It allows a program to change its own logic or behavior based on specific conditions or requirements. This capability can be useful in certain scenarios but may also introduce security risks if not properly controlled or monitored.
