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. The repository includes kernel code, user-space tooling, example material, collected data, and technical analysis. It is intended for advanced hardware-security research rather than general-purpose system administration.
