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. Code injection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_injection

   Code injection is a computer security exploit where a program fails to correctly process external data, such as user input, causing it to interpret the data as executable commands. An attacker using this method "injects" code into the program while it is running.

4. Arbitrary code execution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitrary_code_execution

   On its own, an arbitrary code execution exploit will give the attacker the same privileges as the target process that is vulnerable. [11] For example, if exploiting a flaw in a web browser, an attacker could act as the user, performing actions such as modifying personal computer files or accessing banking information, but would not be able to perform system-level actions (unless the user in ...

5. Category:Injection exploits - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Injection_exploits

   Injection exploits are computer exploits that use some input or data entry feature to introduce some kind of data or code that subverts the intended operation of the system. Usually these exploits exploit vulnerabilities resulting from insufficient data validation on input and so forth.

6. DOM clobbering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOM_clobbering

   In internet security, DOM clobbering (where DOM stands for Document Object Model) is a type of injection attack that revolves around the attacker being able to insert benign non-script HTML code that can be used to influence the execution of JavaScript code. This enables a skilled attacker to perform a variety of unwanted behaviours, including ...

7. Exploit (computer security) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploit_(computer_security)

   Another classification is by the action against the vulnerable system; unauthorized data access, arbitrary code execution, and denial of service are examples. Exploitations are commonly categorized and named [ 9 ] [ 10 ] by the type of vulnerability they exploit (see vulnerabilities for a list) [ clarification needed ] , whether they are local ...

8. Code cave - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_cave

   The concept of a code cave is often employed by hackers and reverse engineers to execute arbitrary code in a compiled program. It can be a helpful method to make modifications to a compiled program in the example of including additional dialog boxes, variable modifications or even the removal of software key validation checks.

9. Return-oriented programming - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return-oriented_programming

   The solution eliminates all unaligned free-branch instructions (instructions like RET or CALL which attackers can use to change control flow) inside a binary executable, and protects the free-branch instructions from being used by an attacker. The way G-Free protects the return address is similar to the XOR canary implemented by StackGuard ...
