Characterizing the Variance Envelope: A Multi-Dimensional Analysis of Spectre Telemetry across Architectures and Workloads

Hardware attacks like Spectre exploit built-in processor vulnerabilities, leaving anomalous footprints in Hardware Performance Counter HPC metrics. While machine learning can detect these footprints in controlled settings, static models fail in the real world when confronted with background syste...

On the Performance of Malware Detection Classifiers Using Hardware Performance Counters

Malware detection using Hardware Performance Counters HPC has emerged as a promising solution to improve the security of computing systems as a complement to antivirus software. Hardware-based malware detectors HMD use Machine Learning ML classifiers to detect malicious application patterns. The...

The vulnerability of the __hw_perf_event_init() function in the arch/s390/kernel/perf_cpum_sf.c module, which is part of the S390 platform support for the Linux operating system, allows a attacker to gain access to protected information or cause a service failure.

The vulnerability of the hwperfeventinit function in the arch/s390/kernel/perfcpumsf.c module, which is part of the S390 platform support for the Linux operating system, is related to synchronization errors when using shared resources. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow an attacker to access...

Hydra: Robust Hardware-Assisted Malware Detection

Malware detection using Hardware Performance Counters HPCs offers a promising, low-overhead approach for monitoring program behavior. However, a fundamental architectural constraint, that only a limited number of hardware events can be monitored concurrently, creates a significant bottleneck,...
