NX Test

  • Artigo

This test verifies that the system supports No-Execute (NX) at the BIOS and processor level and that Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is not set to “Always Off”.

Drivers must not run code out of the stack, paged pool, and session pool. Also, drivers must not fail to load when Physical Address Extension (PAE) mode is enabled, which is a requirement of NX.
