Direct Memory Access (DMA) is a technique that allows peripherals to directly access and transfer data to and from a computer's memory without CPU intervention. As a fundamental component of modern computer architecture, understanding DMA is crucial for the tech community, particularly in the realm of security, where DMA attacks can be used to bypass traditional security measures and gain unauthorized access to sensitive data, making it a critical consideration for developers and security professionals seeking to protect against potential threats.
