Data execution prevention

Data execution prevention (DEP) is an exploit mitigation technique mechanism in which a processor can distinguish the portions of memory that are executable code from data. For example, in code injection attacks, an attacker tries to inject his vector and execute it. But DEP prevents this because it recognizes the injected part as data and not code.
