[@lafayetteplace3031]

How are there only 10 comments? Sys Admins, Sec Engineers, Net Admins need to know this!

Alice runs Links on her computer! And I am the coauthor of Links! Cool🤗

proud to see this come out of U Calgary

Would be interested to see how the first phase was done, how the "light bulb" strings are actually generated, I get they are different function calls but what the process looks like and the tools used and how it's actually done would be good to see!

[@memoriasIT]

This is actually great, I heard side channel attacks were cool but this is above awesome

[@nithinbharadwajpunter]

@Taylor Hornby - The light bulb reference at 10:30, Could you please advise if its an analogy to identify when Alice would run the BAR and the BAZ functions?

[@sotetoldal5081]

every OS maps the virtual memory space of two running binaries to the same cache lines? I guess if it’s not guaranteed then the attack won’t work.

[@ThefamousMrcroissant]

Seemed like a very specific assumption to me too

[@MrSkyTown]

Does having intel’s AES NI instruction set help against side channel attacks

[@bingususer2796]

Yes, some implementations of AES that use lookup tables are vulnerable to side channel attacks tho

cool dude

[@lafayetteplace3031]

Does someone have a link to the website where I can purchase the paper that the speaker recommends?

[@0xbitbybit]

?? He literally has a massive link on the screen where you can access the PDF...

Is Qubes OS kill?

[@nathansmith3608]

it's weird how much I'd prefer him to pronounce flush + reload as "flush & reload" instead of "flush, plus, reload" :|
