The tag aslr dep covers discussions about Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) and Data Execution Prevention (DEP), two security features in Windows. In the context of Windows 7, these technologies are highlighted as important improvements over earlier versions like Windows XP. ASLR randomizes memory addresses to make it harder for exploits to predict locations, while DEP prevents code execution from non-executable memory regions.
