“Security researchers managed to bypass the protections offered by Microsoft’s EMET (Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit), a utility designed to detect and block software exploits, and concluded that the tool would not be effective against determined attackers. EMET can be used to apply 12 different security mitigations to other programs running on the computer. These mitigations are designed to block common techniques used in software exploits, like ROP (Return Oriented Programming). Researchers from Bromium investigated the protections offered by EMET and found that all of them can be bypassed if the attacker is determined enough.”
