* [@drew](https://twitter.com/drewbervisor) - pointing out AC bit in RFLAGS can be set in usermode. I originally assumed since the `STAC` instruction could not be executed in usermode that `POPFQ` would throw an exception if AC bit was high and CPL was greater then zero. Without this key information the project would have been a complete mess. Thank you!
* [@0xnemi](https://twitter.com/0xnemi) / [@everdox](https://twitter.com/nickeverdox) - [mov ss/pop ss exploit](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iU_No7gdcwc) 0xnemi's use of syscall and the fact that RSP is not changed + use of ROP made me think about how there are alot of vulnerable drivers that expose arbitrary wrmsr which could be used to change LSTAR...

SMAP or Supervisor Mode Access Prevention is a CPU protection which prevents accessing data controlled by a higher CPL. In other words, if SMAP is set in CR4, a logical SMAP or Supervisor Mode Access Prevention is a CPU protection which prevents accessing data controlled by a higher CPL.

This is an issue with ROP as RSP after a syscall contains a usermode address. Interfacing with this usermode stack in any way will cause a fault. However, you can essentially disable SMAP from usermode. There is a bit in the RFLAGS register which can be set to nullify SMAP. The instruction to set this bit is called `STAC` (Set AC Flag in EFLAGS Register). However this instruction is privilaged and will throw a #UD. However as @drew pointed out, you can `POPFQ` an RFLAGS value with that bit set and the CPU will not throw any exceptions. I assumed that since `STAC` cannot be used in usermode, that `POPFQ` would also throw an exception, however this is not the case... Again thank you @drew, without this key information the project would have been a complete mess as there are no useable `mov cr4, [non rax registers] ; ret` gadgets which exist across windows versions.
