I'm super happy to share that our work "CustomProcessingUnit: Reverse Engineering and Customization of Intel Microcode" has been accepted at #WOOT23! 🎉 We extend our #BHUSA work to show how microcode tracing and patching can be useful to improve CPU performance and security 👀

Goes beyond 'government systems'. Includes NIS-defined "critical information infrastructure, information systems of essential services and important information systems", so private companies (+employees). "necessary to consider the non-technical aspects of the security"

I’ve been reading some Russian papers on the theory of information conflict (the broader category into which they slot cyber.) I asked my friend to Gehlen me track down some titles and his response was, “why bother? Everything they write is crap it’s bullshit. Don’t waste your time.”

Well, I reasoned, that can’t be true for *everything*… right?

So far I’m 0 for 4, but maybe if I can force myself to read a fifth that one will turn out to be worth the time.

Anyway, I’m not linking to documents on Russian information conflict theory and doctrine because they are all universally terrible. at this point my write up might just be on the problems with Russian information warfare papers.
