  2. DLL injection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DLL_injection

    In computer programming, DLL injection is a technique used for running code within the address space of another process by forcing it to load a dynamic-link library. [1] DLL injection is often used by external programs to influence the behavior of another program in a way its authors did not anticipate or intend.

  3. DLL hell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DLL_Hell

    DLL hell was a very common phenomenon on pre-Windows NT versions of Microsoft operating systems, the primary cause being that the 16-bit operating systems did not restrict processes to their own memory space, thereby not allowing them to load their own version of a shared module that they were compatible with.

  4. Code injection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_injection

    Successful exploitation of a code injection vulnerability can result in data breaches, access to restricted or critical computer systems, and the spread of malware. Code injection vulnerabilities occur when an application sends untrusted data to an interpreter, which then executes the injected text as code.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic-link_library

    A DLL file often has file extension.dll, but can have any file extension. Developers can choose to use a file extension that describes the content of the file such as .ocx for ActiveX controls and .drv for a legacy (16-bit) device driver. A DLL that contains only resources can be called a resource DLL.

  8. Address space layout randomization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_space_layout...

    Address space layout randomization (ASLR) is a computer security technique involved in preventing exploitation of memory corruption vulnerabilities. [1] In order to prevent an attacker from reliably redirecting code execution to, for example, a particular exploited function in memory, ASLR randomly arranges the address space positions of key data areas of a process, including the base of the ...
