Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) is a tool which allows users or administrators to lock down the
security of specific programs to a greater degree than is allowed by
Windows.
The EMET techniques, or mitigations, block many of
the methods used by malicious software and vulnerability exploits. It forces Windows to use two specific malware-busting defense systems. ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization) relocates pieces of programs randomly, making it much harder for malware to hook into specific locations; DEP (Data Execution Protection) makes it much harder for malware to lurk in parts of memory that should contain data.
What is the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit?
EMET is a utility that helps
prevent vulnerabilities in software from being successfully exploited.It achieves this goal by using security mitigation technologies. These
technologies function as special protections and obstacles that an
exploit author must defeat to exploit software vulnerabilities. These
security mitigation technologies do not guarantee that vulnerabilities
cannot be exploited. However, they work to make exploitation as
difficult as possible to perform.
EMET also provides a configurable SSL/TLS certificate pinning feature called Certificate Trust. This feature is intended to detect (and stop, with EMET 5.0) man-in-the-middle attacks that are leveraging the public key infrastructure (PKI).
