SN645: The Speculation Meltdown

from Security Now - 16k MP3 Hosted by TWiT

This week, before we focus upon the industry-wide catastrophe enabled by precisely timing the instruction execution of all contemporary high-performance processor architectures, we examine a change in Microsoft's policy regarding non-Microsoft AV systems, Firefox Quantum's performance when tracking protections are enabled, the very worrisome hard-coded backdoors in 10 of Western Digital's My Cloud drives; and, if at first (WEP) and at second (WPA) and at third (WPA2) and at fourth (WPS) you don't succeed, try, try, try, try, try yet again with WPA3, another crucial cryptographic system being developed by a closed members-only committee.
