I wonder how much boils down to having data and code share the same IO channel. In the end, all of security boils down to tricking the OS and the CPU into treating what was first presented as data as code.
- gizmo686 9y agoNot all exploits are based on treating "data" as code. For instance, in USB autorun attacks, it is the intended behavior of the victim system to run the payload as code.
