Return-Oriented Programming
Return-Oriented Programming (ROP) is an exploit technique that chains together short sequences of instructions (gadgets) from existing executable code to perform arbitrary computation, bypassing security defenses like code injection prevention. Introduced by Hovav Shacham in 2007, ROP exploits code reuse to execute malicious logic even when data execution prevention (DEP) and code signing prevent direct code injection. ROP is considered one of the most powerful exploit techniques against modern defense mechanisms and has been demonstrated to be Turing-complete.

Curated claims
Claims persisted in the evidence ledger, each with its own assessment.
This view does not invent a claim assessment when the ledger has none.
