The European Cyber Security Challenge 2021 in Prague is over! This is a yearly reoccuring event with around 20 (mostly) European countries. Every year, a different state hosts the onsite CTF competition. This year, we had two competition days with over 50 challenges in the categories crypto, reversing, web, forensics, misc, and hardware. Furthermore, there was an escape room and international team challenges.

This project revisits cache side-channels on contemporary hardware and contributes CacheSC, a tool for L1 and L2 Prime+Probe attacks. Furthermore, we apply it to AES lookup tables, AES key scheduling, and acquire first insights on Argon2.

In this course, our task was to implement a typical IT system based on a set of functional and security requirements in a team of four people. For this purpose, we needed to design a certificate authority for a fictional company while analyzing the security and take appropriate measures. Furthermore, we needed to introduce two backdoors in the system. In the middle of the semester, we switched to analyze another team’s system and assess their security. This, of course, included finding their backdoors as well as any other vulnerabilities.

For my Bachelor’s thesis I investigated instruction time measurements with the System Security Group at ETH Zurich. Our findings led to various improvements over existing measurement tools and the discovery of a new side-channel attack, the Frontal Attack.
