When defenses like executable space protection began thwarting such attacks, hackers turned to new methods like return-oriented programming. Return-oriented programming, a form of advanced stack smashing, can bypass defenses, hijack the data stack, and ultimately force a device to perform harmful operations. To guard against these control-flow hijacking attacks, the Windows kernel creates a separate *shadow stack* for return addresses. Windows 11 extends stack protection capabilities to provide both user mode and kernel mode support. -**Hypervisor-enforced Paging Translation (HVPT)** is an overall security enhancement for the system.
