In the previous post a setup and a technique to extract a representative section of a powertrace of a specific instruction of a STM32F3 processor were described. This section is called a “template”. These templates should later be used to identify instructions via a power sidechannel and reconstruct the flow of an unknown program on a controller that can not be dumped via JTAG. In this part of our poweranalysis series the extracted templates from the previous post will be analyzed to determine whether they are representative enough to reverse engineer entire programs from a powertrace.
After discussing the mount namespace and an information leak issue in Docker, this part of your container series illustrates the PID and network namespace types. By creating a PID namespace, the process ID number space gets isolated. Network namespaces can enable processes to have their own private network stack, including interfaces, routing tables and sockets.
A software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) can be seen as a combination of a software-defined networking (SDN) technology and a Wide Area Network (WAN) using common connections such as the Internet or Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), a routing technique often used by service providers. But how does an SD-WAN look like and what are its implications on security? And how do the initial steps for a security assessment look like? This article is about to clarify those questions and provides an SD-WAN security assessment checklist at the end.
