Collaborate Disseminate
In recent years, several groups of cybersecurity researchers have disclosed dozens of memory side-channel vulnerabilities in modern processors and DRAMs, like Rowhammer, RAMBleed, Spectre, and Meltdown.
Have you ever noticed they all had at least one … Continue reading OpenSSH Now Encrypts Secret Keys in Memory Against Side-Channel Attacks
An attacker can use Rowhammer attack to induce bit flips, thereby leaking the victim’s secret data. Continue reading RAMBleed Side-Channel Attack Exposes Privileged Memory
Intel has disclosed a new class of speculative execution side channel attacks. Continue reading Intel CPUs Impacted By New Class of Spectre-Like Attacks
A side-channel attack in Qualcomm technology, which is used by most modern Android devices, could allow an attacker to snatch private keys. Continue reading Qualcomm Critical Flaw Exposes Private Keys For Android Devices
Data exfiltration via side channel attacks can be a fascinating topic. It is easy to forget that there are so many different ways that electronic devices affect the physical world other than their intended purpose. And creative security researchers like to play around with these side-effects for ‘fun and profit’. …read more
An exploit was released for a flaw existing in a process in CPUs called Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT). Continue reading PortSmash Side-Channel Attack Siphons Data From Intel, Other CPUs
A team of security researchers has discovered another serious side-channel vulnerability in Intel CPUs that could allow an attacker to sniff out sensitive protected data, like passwords and cryptographic keys, from other processes running in the same C… Continue reading New Intel CPU Flaw Exploits Hyper-Threading to Steal Encrypted Data
Researchers at Lancaster University have use an active acoustic side-channel attack to steal smartphone passwords for the first time. Continue reading Researchers Used Sonar Signal From a Smartphone Speaker to Steal Unlock Passwords
The security community has reported that a new malicious tactic has been developed called the Synesthesia Side Channel Attack. The available information shows that inaudible acoustic signals can be deciphered into revealing sensitive user content. Seve… Continue reading Synesthesia Attack Allows Hackers To Steal Data Via Screen Noise
The contents of the user’s screen can be gleaned through video or VoIP calls, or voice-operated virtual assistants, like Amazon Alexa. Continue reading Side-Channel Attack Allows Remote Listener to ‘Hear’ On-Screen Images
