An article about something assuming domain knowledge? Say it ain't so!

F-Secure: an antivirus

RAR: an ancient archival format

ASLR: address space layout randomization, a system which loads code at unpredictable locations to make exploits harder to write (as you don't know where to jump)

ROP chain: Return Oriented Programming. A way to circumvent non-executable memory protection and ASLR by manipulating the call stack to jump into to existing executable code segments (called gadgets) and chain them together as each returns to the next.

RarVM: an ill concieved mechanism allowing code to be embedded in RAR archives.


Nice!!
