ASLR is, by definition, security by obscurity. The entire purpose of it is to make it so that it's hard to find the memory which is in use. | ||

That's not what security through obscurity means. Security through obscurity has a specific meaning, it doesn't just mean to gain security by hiding anything it means to attempt to gain security by hiding how a system works. ASLR is a well understood system that exploit writers know to expect and thus ASLR is not security through obscurity. | ||
