Research Project - Cache attack
This project is about being able to re-implement a gather data sampling attack, Downfall. It allows the attacker to steal data from another process on the same computer. For example we can get encryption keys, passwords or locally stored personal data.
I invite you to read the report we made to understand the attack. To go further, you should read the paper of M. Moghimi. Our GDS implementation is a modifed POC of the original one, you can try it here.
