to defeat 'protective countermeasures', of a computer or network‑capable device, and performing any of the following:
 (a) the extraction of data or information, from a computer or network‑capable device, or the modification of system or user data; or
 (b) the modification of the standard execution path of a "program" or process in order to allow the execution of externally provided instructions.
Note 1: "Intrusion software" does not include any of the following:
(a) hypervisors, debuggers or Software Reverse Engineering (SRE) tools;
(b) Digital Rights Management (DRM) "software"; or
(c) "Software" designed to be installed by manufacturers, administrators or users, for the purposes of asset tracking or recovery.
Note 2: Network‑capable devices include mobile devices and smart meters.
Technical Notes:
1. 'Monitoring tools': "software" or hardware devices, that monitor system behaviours or processes running on a device. This includes antivirus (AV) products, end point security products, Personal Security Products (PSP), Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) or firewalls.
2. 'Protective countermeasures': techniques designed to ensure the safe execution of code, such as Data Execution Prevention (DEP), Address Space Layout Randomisation (ASLR) or sandboxing.
"Isolated live cultures" (1) includes live cultures in dormant form and in dried preparations.
"Isostatic presses" (2) mean equipment capable of pressurising a closed cavity through various media (gas, liquid, solid particles, etc.) to create equal pressure in all directions within the cavity upon a workpiece or material.
"Laser" (0 1 2 3 5P1 6 7 8 9 ML5 ML9 ML19) is an item that produces spatially and temporally coherent light through amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.
"Laser duration" (6) means the time over which a "laser" emits "laser" radiation, which for "pulsed lasers" corresponds to the time over which a single pulse or series of consecutive pulses is emitted.
"Library" (parametric technical database) (1 ML17) is a collection of technical information, reference to which may enhance the performance of relevant systems, equipment or components.
"Lighter‑than‑air vehicles" (9  ML10) mean balloons and "airships" that rely on hot air or on lighter‑than‑air gases such as helium or hydrogen for their lift.
"Local area network" (4) is a data communication system having all of the following characteristics:
 (a) allows an arbitrary number of independent 'data devices' to communicate directly with each other;
 (b) is confined to a geographical area of moderate size (e.g., office building, plant, campus, warehouse).
Note: 'Data device' means equipment capable of transmitting or receiving sequences of digital information.
"Magnetic gradiometers" (6) are instruments designed to detect the spatial variation of magnetic fields from sources external to the instrument. They consist of multiple "magnetometers" and associated electronics the output of which is a measure of magnetic field gradient.
Note: See also "intrinsic magnetic gradiometer".
