Abstract

See full text

A computer-implemented method for defending an attack from the execution of shellcode is described. Elements within a dynamically linked library (dll) may be duplicated. The dll resides in a first memory space. The duplicated elements may be redirected into a second memory space. A protection attribute may be established for the elements within the second memory space. A location of execution code attempting to access the elements within the second memory space may be determined. The execution code may be prevented from being executed based on the determined location.
