Abstract
Disclosed are devices, systems, apparatus, circuits, methods, products, and other implementations, including a method that includes obtaining, during execution of a process associated with a particular privilege level, data content from a memory location, and determining by a hardware-based detection circuit whether the data content matches at least one of one or more token values, with the one or more token values stored in one or more pre-determined memory locations, and with access of any of the pre-determined one or more memory locations indicating a potential anomalous condition. The method further includes triggering, in response to a determination that the data content matches the at least one of the one or more token values, another process with a higher or same privilege level as the particular privilege level associated with the process, to handle occurrence of a potential system violation condition.
