AIR-FI attack turns RAM into a makeshift Wi-Fi signal source

Experts from Israel’s Ben-Gurion University have demonstrated the AIR-FI attack, which turns RAM into Wi-Fi. In fact, this is a new method of extracting data from machines that are physically isolated from any networks and potentially dangerous peripherals. Such computers are often found in government systems and corporate networks, they store secret documents, as well… Continue reading AIR-FI attack turns RAM into a makeshift Wi-Fi signal source

Modern RAM is still vulnerable to Rowhammer attacks

Recently, I wrote all about the vulnerabilities of Intel and AMD processors, and in the meantime, a group of researchers from universities in the Netherlands and Switzerland published a report according to which modern RAM memory is vulnerable to Rowhammer attacks, despite all the protective measures taken by manufacturers over the past six years. A… Continue reading Modern RAM is still vulnerable to Rowhammer attacks
