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. ...

ESP8266 firmware for performing deauthentication attacks, with ease. Wi-PWN is a firmware that performs death attacks on cheap Arduino boards. The ESP8266 is a cheap microcontroller with built-in Wi-Fi. It contains a powerful 160 MHz processor and it can be programmed using Arduino. A deauthentication attack is often confused with Wi-Fi jamming, as they both block users from accessing Wi-Fi networks. The 802.11 Wi-Fi protocol contains a so-called deauthentication frame. It is used to...
