Collaborate Disseminate
If you own an Intel motherboard with a Z170 or Z270 chipset, you might believe that it only supports CPUs up to Intel’s 7th generation, known as Kaby Lake. Even …read more Continue reading Intel’s Anti-Upgrade Tricks Defeated With Kapton Tape
All Intel processors released in the past 5 years contain an unpatchable vulnerability that could allow hackers to compromise almost every hardware-enabled security technology that are otherwise designed to shield sensitive data of users even when a sy… Continue reading This Unpatchable Flaw Affects All Intel CPUs Released in Last 5 Years
Another month, another speculative execution vulnerability found in Intel processors.
If your computer is running any modern Intel CPU built before October 2018, it’s likely vulnerable to a newly discovered hardware issue that could allow attackers to… Continue reading New ‘CacheOut’ Attack Leaks Data from Intel CPUs, VMs and SGX Enclave
A team of cybersecurity researchers demonstrated a novel yet another technique to hijack Intel SGX, a hardware-isolated trusted space on modern Intel CPUs that encrypts extremely sensitive data to shield it from attackers even when a system gets compro… Continue reading New PlunderVolt Attack Targets Intel SGX Enclaves by Tweaking CPU Voltage
A team of cybersecurity researchers today disclosed details of two new potentially serious CPU vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to retrieve cryptographic keys protected inside TPM chips manufactured by STMicroelectronics or firmware-based Int… Continue reading Researchers Discover TPM-Fail Vulnerabilities Affecting Billions of Devices
A new attack on Intel server-grade CPUs could allow the leakage of SSH passwords – but luckily it’s not easy to exploit. Continue reading Intel CPUs Vulnerable to Sensitive Data Leakage in NetCAT Attack
A lot of thought and meaning goes into the naming of infamous CPU side channel flaws, like ZombieLoad, Spectre and Meltdown. Continue reading Behind the Naming of ZombieLoad and Other Intel Spectre-Like Flaws
Intel has disclosed a new class of speculative execution side channel attacks. Continue reading Intel CPUs Impacted By New Class of Spectre-Like Attacks
Security experts discovered three new vulnerabilities affecting Intel processors that appear to be speculative execution flaws called Foreshadow. This is the code name under which has been assigned to the bugs, appearing to be yet another problem that … Continue reading Intel Processors Affected with Foreshadow Speculative Execution Flaws
It’s been at least a month or two since the last vulnerability in Intel CPUs was released, but this time it’s serious. Foreshadow is the latest speculative execution attack that allows balaclava-wearing hackers to steal your sensitive information. You know it’s a real 0-day because it already has a domain, a logo, and this time, there’s a video explaining in simple terms anyone can understand why the sky is falling. The video uses ukuleles in the sound track, meaning it’s very well produced.
The Foreshadow attack relies on Intel’s Software Guard Extension (SGX) instructions that allow user code to allocate …read more
