Indirect Branch Tracking
ID: indirect-branch-tracking
Indirect Branch Tracking (IBT) is a security feature designed to enhance the protection of applications against control flow hijacking attacks, such as Return-Oriented Programming (ROP) and Jump-Oriented Programming (JOP). These attacks aim to exploit vulnerabilities in software (like buffer overflows or code injection) to redirect the execution flow of programs to malicious code.
