Spectre Vulnerability Exploitation

Spectre Vulnerability Exploitation

A security researcher discovered several employee Spectre exploits that were loaded into the VirusTotal database last month.

Along with Meltdown, Spectre are two extremely serious hardware vulnerabilities affecting Intel, IBM POWER and some ARM-based processors. No patch has yet been found related to the vulnerabilities, but operating system and processor manufacturers have released mitigating updates both in hardware and software.

It has been reported that the codes thought to be related to the exploitation codes of the Canvas Penetration Tool, which previously claimed to contain these exploitation codes, started to dissolve with the crack version of the relevant tool.

In order to be affected by this vulnerability as little as possible, it is recommended to follow the improvements supported and announced by your hardware CPUs.
