In computer security, a weird machine is a computational artifact where additional code execution can happen outside the original specification of the program.[1] It is closely related to the concept of weird instructions, which are the building blocks of an exploit based on crafted input data.[2]
The concept of weird machine is a theoretical framework to understand the existence of exploits for security vulnerabilities. Exploits exist empirically, but were not studied from a theoretical perspective prior to the emergence of the framework of weird machines.
