While robust passwords help you secure your valuable online accounts, hardware-based two-factor authentication takes that security to the next level. Read now Academics have developed a new technique ...

Tests by independent test lab AV-Test.org show that few of them consistently use important techniques to protect their executables against vulnerability exploit. The main techniques are DEP (Data ...

An academic paper demonstrates a new ASLR bypass executed through a side-channel attack against the branch target buffer in an Intel Haswell CPU. Address Space Layout Randomization was a champion ...

“Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) is one of the most prominently deployed mitigations against memory corruption attacks. ASLR randomly shuffles program virtual addresses to prevent attackers ...

Yang Yu’s submission to the Microsoft bug bounty program completely elude ASLR and DEP mitigations built into Windows, earning him $100,000. Yang Yu is no stranger to writing mitigation bypasses for ...

Earlier this week, Ars discussed a few of the new security features found in Windows Vista. One feature mentioned, Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR), has been getting some extra press this ...

Five researchers from the Vrije University in the Netherlands have put together an attack that can be carried out via JavaScript code and break ASLR protection on at least 22 processor ...

A feature in Intel’s Haswell CPUs can be abused to reliably defeat an anti-exploitation technology that exists in all major operating systems, researchers have found. The technique, developed by three ...

CISA warned today of a security vulnerability affecting Samsung devices used in attacks to bypass Android address space layout randomization (ASLR) protection. ASLR is an Android security feature that ...

For a decade, every major operating system has relied on a technique known as address space layout randomization to provide a first line of defense against malware attacks. By randomizing the computer ...

Researchers from VUSec found a way to break ASLR via an MMU sidechannel attack that even works in JavaScript. Does this matter? Yes, it matters. A lot. The discovery of this security flaw along with ...
