Data Execution Prevention is a hardware-layer feature provided by modern instruction set architectures. On Intel CPU's, this is called the NX bit, and on AMD CPU's, this is called the XD bit. These bits provide the assembly instructions jno and jo, jump if no overflow and jump if overflow, respectively.
