ROPSentry : runtime defense against ROP attacks using hardware performance counters

Return-Oriented Programming (ROP) is one of the most common techniques to exploit software vulnerabilities. However, existing defense techniques can be defeated by attackers, or suffer from high performance overhead. In this paper, we propose a defense framework, named ROPSentry, to detect ROP attac...
