## C, 9 bytes- ```c
- main;
- ```
- This exploits the fact that uninitialised globals live in the `.bss` section, and that section is not executable. So any attempt to execute code there, regardless of content, will cause a segfault.
- ## C, 5 bytes
- ```c
- main;
- ```
- This exploits the fact that uninitialised globals live in the `.bss` section, and that section is not executable. So any attempt to execute code there, regardless of content, will cause a segfault.
