True or False: Address Space Layout Randomisation (ASLR) by itself can protect and eliminate buffer overflow attacks.
True
False
Address Space Layout Randomisation (ASLR) is a technique used to thwart buffer overflow attacks that require knowing the location of the target code or data. However, this technique should be used along with executable space protection, which uses hardware features such as the NX bit to mark memory regions as non-executable. In Windows, this is known as Data Execution Prevention (DEP). Any attempt to execute machine code in these regions will cause an exception. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executablespaceprotection
