No-Execute bit

In a land of chips and circuits so grand, There lived a CPU, oh so grand. With a special feature, it could boast, The NX bit, it loved the most. The NX bit, a magical spell, Segregating space, oh so well. Data and instructions, kept apart, Protecting the CPU's precious heart. An operating system, wise and bright, Marked areas as non-executable, just right. The processor obeyed, it knew the rule, No code would run, no malicious tool. Write XOR Execute, a fancy name, To stop software, oh what a game! No taking over, no sneaky attack, Buffer overflow, you won't get back. AMD called it NX, a marketing flair, Intel's XD bit, they too did share. MIPS said XI, execute inhibit, ARM's XN, never execute, not a bit. So children, remember this tale so true, The CPU's magic, protecting you. With the NX bit, it's safe and sound, In the land of processors, all around. Random page: YCSM
