Which technique randomizes the memory address map with Memory Exploit Mitigation?
ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization) is a security technique used in Memory Exploit Mitigation that randomizes the memory address map for processes. By placing key data areas at random locations in memory, ASLR makes it more difficult for attackers to predict the locations of specific functions or buffers, thus preventing exploitation techniques that rely on fixed memory addresses.
How ASLR Enhances Security:
ASLR rearranges the location of executable code, heap, stack, and libraries each time a program is run, thwarting attacks that depend on known memory locations.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
ForceDEP (Option A) enforces Data Execution Prevention but does not randomize addresses.
SEHOP (Option B) mitigates exploits by protecting exception handling but does not involve address randomization.
ROPHEAP (Option D) refers to Return-Oriented Programming attacks rather than a mitigation technique.
