Return Oriented Programming (ROP) poses a significant threat to modern day systems as it is able to circumvent both traditional and more modern protection mechanisms such as antivirus, antimalware, Address Space Layout Randomisation (ASLR) and W⊕X/Data Execution Prevention (DEP). Large companies in the world of information technology such as Intel are actively researching ways in which ROP attacks can be mitigated emphasising e importance of research in this area. The talk is on my research to determine if a solution exists without the major caveats of current solutions such as access to source code, disassembly information and runtime overheads. My proposed solution ROPMit successfully mitigates ROP attacks without the caveats of other current research.
