Shadow memory
In computing, shadow memory is a technique used to track and store information on computer memory used by a program during its execution. Shadow memory is a region in memory (whose contents are called shadow bytes) that maps to individual bits or one or more bytes in main memory. These shadow bytes are typically invisible to the original program and are used to record information about the original piece of data.
