Δε μπορείς να νικήσεις το σύστημα!
Στην καλύτερη περίπτωση, μερικές φορές, μπορείς να το κάνεις να σου συμπεριφερθεί όμορφα.

[$] Keeping memory contents secret

One of the many responsibilities of the operating system is to help processes keep secrets from each other. Operating systems often fail in this regard, sometimes due to factors — such as hardware bugs and user-space vulnerabilities — that are beyond their direct control. It is thus unsurprising that there is an increasing level of interest in ways to improv […]

Cook: Security things in Linux v5.3

Kees Cook catches up with the security improvements in the 5.3 kernel. "In recent exploits, one of the steps for making the attacker’s life easier is to disable CPU protections like Supervisor Mode Access (and Execute) Prevention (SMAP and SMEP) by finding a way to write to CPU control registers to disable these features. For example, CR4 controls SMAP […]

[$] Analyzing kernel email

Digging into the email that provides the cornerstone of Linux kernel development is an endeavor that has become more popular over the last few years. There are some practical reasons for analyzing the kernel mailing lists and for correlating that information with the patches that actually reach the mainline, including tracking the path that patches take—or d […]

During an incident response process, one of the fundamental variables to consider is speed. If a net capture is being made where we can presumably find evidence that who and how is causing an incident, any second counts in order to anticipate the attacker in the cyber kill chain sequence.

After a news of "mass exploitation" of a specific vulnerability hits mainstream media, even organizations that don&#x27t have a formal (or any) patch management process in place usually start to smell the ashes and try to quickly apply the relevant patches. Since media coverage of the recent BlueKeep campaign was quite extensive, I wondered whe […]
