Happy to report that our InSpectreGadget paper won a Distinguished Paper award at @USENIXSecurity: download.vusec.net/papers/inspect… @vu5ec @SanWieb @HBitmasks @c_giuffrida Here is @SanWieb presenting the paper:



Branch History Injection (BHI) is back! Disclosing Native BHI, bypassing deployed Spectre-v2/BHI mitigations (e.g., eBPF=off) to leak arbitrary kernel/host memory (e.g., root password hash below). Joint work by @SanWieb @HBitmasks @herbertbos @c_giuffrida: vusec.net/projects/nativ…



Now that the embargo is finally lifted🥳: I'm excited to share details about our most recent work (appearing at USENIX this week) on modeling and testing microarchitectural information leakage of CPU exceptions (think Meltdown 👻and alike).







We audited SPL-Token-2022 for the @SolanaFndn. It's an update for the SPL-Token program. In our review, we found an inflationary bug that would've allowed infinite minting of tokens for free. The audit was pre-launch. The code was not enabled, so no funds were at risk. 👇🧵

And we got this. Very happy about that.
