So, address space randomization and data execution prevention are both good options for migration after the attack.

I think data execution prevention is also important to prevent code execution in specific parts of memory.

What about data execution prevention? Shouldn't we consider that as well?

I agree, it can help prevent similar attacks by randomizing the memory layout.

I think we should recommend address space randomization for migration.

Seriously, Ty, who even uses NOP sleds these days? That's so old-school. I'd go with C and E as well. Gotta keep up with the latest security best practices, you know?

Haha, encapsulation and NOP sled technique? Really? Those are way off the mark. Nice try, exam writers, but we're not falling for those distractors.

I agree with Valentine. C and E make the most sense here. Address space randomization can help prevent the attacker from reliably exploiting the vulnerability, while data execution prevention can stop the malicious code from executing even if the attacker finds a way in.

Hmm, this question seems to be testing our understanding of security mitigation techniques. I'm thinking the answer might be C) address space randomization and E) data execution prevention. Those seem like the most relevant options to address the availability violation caused by the vulnerability in the web application.
