-===== Checking =====
+Questions:
+  * What about kernel ASLR (KASLR)? Look for ''RANDOMIZE'' options.
+===== Basics =====
+Binaries must be position-independent executables, so worthless on statically-compiled binaries. Possible settings:
+  * 0 – No randomization. Everything is static.
+  * 1 – Conservative randomization. Shared libraries, stack, mmap(), VDSO and heap are randomized.
+  * 2 – Full randomization. In addition to elements listed in the previous point, memory managed through brk() is also randomized.
