We all know that exploit mitigations aren't perfect. But to not even bother using them... that's just ridiculous. There are plenty of scenarios where ASLR helps prevent exploitation. And the fact that FreeBSD doesn't even have it is pretty damning.

I didn't say not to bother; I just said the protection provided by ASLR is weaker, even on 64-bit systems, than most of us believed a couple of years ago.

It's the FreeBSD folks that didn't bother. Not you.
