(credit: Samsung) In early 2015, researchers unveiled Rowhammer, a cutting-edge hack that exploits unfixable physical weaknesses in the silicon of certain types of memory chips to transform data they stored. In the 42 months that […]
Researchers have discovered that the so-called Rowhammer technique works on “error-correcting code” memory, in what amounts to a serious escalation. https://media.wired.com/photos/5bf566870e2d6f1524352fc7/master/pass/MemoryAttack-wired-headers2400-B5.jpg
(credit: Ron Amadeo) In late 2016, Google’s security team scrambled to fix a critical vulnerability that allowed attackers to gain unfettered root access to Android devices by using a relatively new class of exploit that manipulates data stored in memory chips. Now, 21 months later, many of the same researchers behind the attack, dubbed Drammer, […]
