Chapter 1: AI and Technical Vocabulary

What role does AI play in interpreting complex security terminology? It's a captivating topic, though I often find myself more drawn to matrix-themed apparel.

How can AI be expected to dominate our future when it struggles to accurately define fundamental technical concepts, merely recycling existing knowledge? We are not adequately prepared for this, folks. This seems more like a gimmick.

• Dereference Null Pointer: This refers to a situation where a NULL pointer attempts to access memory that is non-existent, leading to unexpected behaviors. Also identified as a null-pointer dereference.
• Expired Pointer Dereference: This occurs when a pointer is left dangling, trying to access memory that has already been released.
• Divide-By-Zero Error: This happens when a program attempts to divide a number by zero, resulting in an error.
• Heap-Based Buffer Over-Read: This error occurs when a program reads beyond the intended buffer and accesses adjacent memory.
• Heap-Based Buffer Overwrite: This situation arises when a program writes data beyond the allocated buffer, corrupting nearby memory.
• Incorrect Malloc Calls: Memory allocation that miscalculates size can lead to writing data into adjacent memory, causing errors.
• Infinite Loop: A coding error that results in a program repeatedly executing the same block of code due to a logic flaw.
• Integer Overflow: This issue leads to unexpected results when the value exceeds the maximum limit for an integer type.
• Memory Corruption: This refers to unintended changes that disrupt the integrity of either allocated or in-use memory, which is essential to differentiate from memory leaks.
• Memory Leak: This occurs when resources are consumed without being released, leading to exceeding stable resource thresholds.
• Mishandled Integer Overflow Checks: This is a flawed validation that fails to ensure a positive result remains positive, especially during integer overflow scenarios.
• Out-of-Bounds Read: Code that attempts to access memory that does not exist can lead to reading more data than intended, often resulting in crashes.
• Out-of-Bounds Write: This occurs when a program writes data to memory outside the defined buffer limits.
