Using non-owned memory: It is common to use pointers to access and modify memory. If such a pointer is a null pointer, dangling pointer (pointing to memory that has already been freed), or to a memory location outside of current stack or heap bounds, it is referring to memory that is not then possessed by the program. Using such pointers is a ...
Grim Dawn is an action role-playing game that features fast-paced real-time combat and emphasizes collecting loot, such as armor, potions, weapons, and money (in the form of Iron Bits).
Photo of an Atari 2600 with corrupted RAM. A video that has been corrupted. Epilepsy warning: This video contains bright, flashing images. There are two types of data corruption associated with computer systems: undetected and detected.
PunkBuster is a computer program that is designed to detect software used for cheating in online games.It does this by scanning the memory contents of the local machine. A computer identified as using cheats may be banned from connecting to protected servers.
The "sawtooth" pattern of memory utilization: the sudden drop in used memory is a candidate symptom for a memory leak. If the memory leak is in the kernel, the operating system itself will likely fail. Computers without sophisticated memory management, such as embedded systems, may also completely fail from a persistent memory leak.
Data degradation is the gradual corruption of computer data due to an accumulation of non-critical failures in a data storage device.It is also referred to as data decay, data rot or bit rot. [1]
DRAM memory may provide increased protection against soft errors by relying on error-correcting codes. Such error-correcting memory, known as ECC or EDAC-protected memory, is particularly desirable for highly fault-tolerant applications, such as servers, as well as deep-space applications due to increased radiation.
Visualization of a software buffer overflow. Data is written into A, but is too large to fit within A, so it overflows into B.. In programming and information security, a buffer overflow or buffer overrun is an anomaly whereby a program writes data to a buffer beyond the buffer's allocated memory, overwriting adjacent memory locations.
