Today we've published Intel Microcode decryptor! It gives you an amazing opportunity for researching x86 platforms. You can understand how Intel mitigated spectre vulnerability, explore the implementation of Intel TXT, SGX,VT-x technologies! Enjoy it! github.com/chip-red-pill/…

Shamir’s paper "A Simple Explanation for the Existence of Adversarial Examples with Small Hamming Distance" is indelibly fascinating. If your background is topology but you haven’t investigated how the influence of manifolds in neural networks, it’s a fast forward extraordinaire.

🔥 training alert 🔥 When giving a training, I'm curious to know what ICs are of interest for attendees If you come to REcon to Texplained 's IC RE & Data Extraction training, bring chips! I will image them for you Do you have targets in mind? recon.cx/2025/trainingI…

The embargo (12:00 UTC 2025-06-10) is over, let's start a thread on Hydroph0bia (CVE-2025-4275), a trivial SecureBoot and FW updater signature bypass in almost any Insyde H2O-based UEFI firmware used since 2012 and still in use today. English writeup: coderush.me/hydroph0bia-pa…

heard about “training solo” attack? CPU mfgs had to issue a microcode update. >attackers can speculatively hijack control flow within the same domain (e.g., kernel) and leak secrets across privilege boundaries, re-enabling classic Spectre-v2 scenarios vusec.net/projects/train…

Happy to announce that we have (finally) proven the adaptive security of FROST! See our recent publication "On the Adaptive Security of FROST" which was accepted to CRYPTO '25. eprint.iacr.org/2025/1061

Known as a Chinese wall, this was the setup: One team read the proprietary IBM Tech Reference Manual; writing extremely detailed (but not plagiarized) specifications. A lone engineer, never exposed to IBM source, then wrote compatible APIs to meet the technical spec.

28nm Maximalist Club At Teardown 2025 bunnie presents a cogent argument about why there will be a paradigm shift in chip silicon manufacturing to a more FOSS compatible stack. Not solely based on engineering ethos of FOSS but also pure business motivations.

> To prepare for Pertsev’s appeal, the defense wants to know what funds flowed where and when, noting that so far it has only been presented with spreadsheets that lack critical information, such as transaction hashes.

In this case, you get a single instruction difference in the binary, depending on whether the architecture of the machine the build was running on was X86-64 or AArch64: github.com/bitcoin/bitcoi….
