exploit mitigations

Exploit mitigations are security measures designed to prevent attackers from taking advantage of vulnerabilities in software or systems. They work by making it harder for hackers to execute malicious code or perform unauthorized actions. Common techniques include data execution prevention, which restricts where code can run, and address space layout randomization, which randomly organizes memory to confuse attackers. These strategies don't eliminate vulnerabilities but reduce the chances of successful exploitation, thereby protecting systems from cyber threats and enhancing overall security.
