Skitter Creek Bath Salts is a security research project exploring how low-level DRAM address translation affects processor security boundaries. It demonstrates that changing memory-controller translation behavior can expose physical memory regions normally hidden from the operating system. The research targets AMD Family 16h processors, whose documentation describes relevant DRAM translation registers. Its examples examine protected areas associated with the Platform Security Processor, System Management Mode, C6 memory, and CPU microcode. ...

Tomb is a minimalistic command-line tool for creating and managing encrypted “tombs,” which are files that act as mountable, private storage vaults. Under the hood it uses Linux dm-crypt with LUKS for strong, disk-level encryption, and separates the key material from the vault itself to improve security workflows. Keys can be protected with passphrases and even hidden via steganography inside innocuous files, giving you options for concealment and off-device storage. The interface is...
