PS: Your Homework Assignments Thomas Ptacek to retract all stupid commentary from world wide web. examples: I don't think this is a timing attack; it's a side-channel attack that exploits the fact that OpenSSL's impact on the branch prediction cache leaks information. correction: timing attacks are a subset of side channel attacks, therefore the above comment is stupid. examples: we were turning out more lines of code per day than my old employer! Turns out I forgot about a little thing called QA correction: detailing how poorly build security in and solid engineering are applied to your forthcoming security product is bad. it makes executives and marketing angry! many more to list. i expect 3,463,492 words rewritten double spaced on formal retraction by end of week. GOBBLES your homework is less gossip more sploits. ___ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
