@martonbognar @HansWinderix @LeslyAnnDaniel1 @acm_ccs Congrats!
@MarcusBotacin @AndreasZeller @moyix Yes, looks interesting. Fwiw, one of our students also worked on fuzzing malware: download.vusec.net/papers/enviral…
Herbert Bos retweeted
Our paper "SIMurai: Slicing Through the Complexity of SIM Card Security Research" just went public! In this paper, we explore the question: What kind of attacks could a hostile SIM launch against your phone? Surprisingly, a lot.
Herbert Bos retweeted
As it turns out, the secure monitor, Android's most trusted component is full of bugs. @_chli_ and @0ddc0de discovered lots of serious issues @USENIXSecurity though fuzzing. Paper: nebelwelt.net/files/24SEC2.p…
Herbert Bos retweeted
Do you want 0days in Android Trusted Applications using the Global Platform API? Use @0ddc0de's binary static analysis @USENIXSecurity to find type confusions resulting in arbitrary writes. Paper: nebelwelt.net/files/24SEC4.p…

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:
@spendergrsec Maybe we phrased it a bit strongly, without that context. The usenix security paper makes that a bit clearer. Anyway, not intended as a dig at PaX, but a call to *deploy* defenses that stop such attacks.
@spendergrsec Sorry for late reply - not much X these days. Complexity refers mainly to research that crafts attacks with, say, symbex, and aims for, say, Turing completeness -> neither very practical nor needed. Niche refers to application-specific and requiring much knowledge of application.
Herbert Bos retweeted
A big thank you to the local organizers in Vienna for hosting an outstanding event! Thanks to the outgoing chair @herbertbos and good luck for 2025 to the PC co-chairs @kcotsneb and Anja Lehmann - follow this space for the CfP and changes for the 2025 Venice edition of EuroS&P.
@kcotsneb @IEEEEUROSP Accurate depiction. True to life.
So... Andy won the ACM Software System Award for MINIX! I feel very proud and privileged to have worked with him (on MINIX 3 and other things)! He is one of the true pioneers of operating systems and one of the reasons i came to @VUamsterdam. acm.org/media-center/2…
