Pattern scanning

Pattern scanning is a technique used in computer programming and security to locate specific sequences of data or instructions within a larger dataset, such as a program's memory. It involves searching for recognizable patterns or signatures, which can be helpful for identifying particular functions, code segments, or malicious code. This method is often used in debugging, reverse engineering, and malware detection to efficiently find relevant code or data without analyzing the entire dataset manually. Essentially, pattern scanning acts like a targeted search, enabling faster and more precise identification of specific patterns within complex digital environments.
