Recently, Microsoft commissioned a study that showed how attacks against firmware are outpacing investments targeted at stopping them. TheMarch 2021 Security Signalsreport showed that more than 80% of enterprises have experienced at ...
We present a novel firmware attack that leverages system management cycles to covertly collect data from the application layer. We show that system interrupts that are used for managing the platform, can be leveraged to extract sensitive application data from outgoing requests even when the HTTPS ...

Binarly researchers decided to investigate and exploit this early boot cosmetic functionality, which is why they’ve dubbed their attack LogoFAIL. Computer manufacturers supply splash screen graphics as images, which means that the firmware contains image parsing code to display them. Anyone...
Even major silicon vendors develop mitigations for side-channel attacks differently. This situation presents an opportunity for potential threat actors to exploit known speculative attacks like the 5-year-old Spectre or the 1-year-old Retbleed. A new perspective is needed to construct an attack v...
