Chapter 15. Windows Exploits > Bypassing Windows Memory Protections
Bypassing Windows Memory Protections
As alluded to already, as Microsoft improves the memory protection mechanisms in Windows, the attackers continue to find ways around them. We will start slow and then pick up other bypass methods as we go. At the end of this chapter, we will provide a chart that shows which bypass techniques to use for which protections.
Note
|
| As of the time of this writing, a completely locked-down Windows 7 box with all the protections in place is nearly impossible to exploit and there are no known public exploits. However, that will change over time and has already been completely compromised at least once by Peter Vreugdenhil (see the “References” section). |
