| Aug 19, 2012 at 14:40 | comment | added | Thomas Pornin | "The only reliable way to bybass DEP and ASLR": that's the tricky point. The attacker does not need a reliable way; often, a way which works only once in a thousand times is good enough, since he just needs to try a thousand times (which can often be scripted). This illustrates the limits to the effectiveness of ASLR and DEP as security mechanisms. | |

| Aug 16, 2012 at 20:21 | comment | added | Polynomial | @lynks I find that self-answered questions are either repwhoring or for the good of the community. I assure you that I posted it with the latter intention. It took me a very long time to properly understand DEP and ASLR, I just hope that this answer will help someone else understand it. | |
| Aug 15, 2012 at 10:45 | comment | added | lynks | I don't usually go for these self-answers. But this is such a good answer, I've been doing this stuff for years and I leant a few things here. Great job +1 | |
