ASLR
Address Space Layout Randomization
Address Space Layout Randomization is an OS-level defense that randomizes the memory addresses of code, stack, heap, and libraries each time a program runs. ASLR makes it harder for attackers to predict where specific instructions or data reside in memory.
Cómo se usa en ciberseguridad
Penetration testers assess whether ASLR is enabled and attempt to bypass it using information leaks during exploit development. Security engineers verify ASLR is active on production systems and that compiled binaries support position-independent execution. Security architects include ASLR in baseline hardening standards for servers and endpoints.
