• live data n. 1. Data that is written to be interpreted and takes over program flow when triggered by some un-obvious operation, such as viewing it.
  One use of such hacks is to break security. For example, some smart terminals have commands that allow one to download strings to program key...

• ampoline n. An incredibly hairy technique, found in some HLL and program-overlay implementations (e.
  g., on the Macintosh), that involves on-the-fly generation of small executable (and, likely as not, self-modifying) code objects to do indirection between code sections....
