- asveikau 13y ago> Why is it even possible for DLLs/applications to disable ASLR by themselves Compatibility with old apps. There is software out there in the world that relies on the address space not changing, either deliberately or due to bugs. You could argue that they shouldn't do that, but people get pissed when their stuff doesn't work with the new Windows. The most cautious thing they can do for these apps is make it opt-in. (I believe the default may be different for amd64? Not sure..) > decision for the ... admin I believe the policy is also a system setting, and maybe even you can override the value in the PE header this way.
