Major OEMs selling PC with Vista will enable DEP/NX in their BIOSs by default | |

Michael Howard mentions on his blog that recently MS had all the major OEMs on campus to discuss SDL(Security Development Lifecycle). MS asked the OEMs to enable DEP/NX in the BIOS by default on all their shipping PCs in time for Windows Vista. The reason for this ask is pretty simple, for ASLR to be effective, DEP/NX must be enabled by default too. Michael mentions that all the major OEMs (you know who they are!) have agreed to not disable DEP/NX in their BIOSs by default. | ||

Didn't Michael Howard mention tat DEP/NX must be anabled for ASLR to be effective ?
He didn't say anything about ASLR not working without DEP/NX enabled |
