Protected memory areas used to detect buffer overflows.
Guard Pages Definition: Protected memory areas used to detect buffer overflows.
Guard Pages are memory protection techniques used to detect stack overflows, buffer overflows, and other memory corruption issues. These pages are intentionally marked as inaccessible, and any attempt to read or write to them triggers a fault or exception. In cybersecurity, guard pages act as buffers between critical memory regions to help detect and prevent exploitation of memoryrelated vulnerabilities.
