Our paper "SIMurai: Slicing Through the Complexity of SIM Card Security Research" just went public!
In this paper, we explore the question: What kind of attacks could a hostile SIM launch against your phone? Surprisingly, a lot.
ALT Screenshot of the first page from the SIMurai paper, including title, author names, and parts of the abstract.

As it turns out, the secure monitor, Android's most trusted component is full of bugs. @_chli_ and @0ddc0de discovered lots of serious issues @USENIXSecurity though fuzzing. Paper: nebelwelt.net/files/24SEC2.p…

Do you want 0days in Android Trusted Applications using the Global Platform API? Use @0ddc0de's binary static analysis @USENIXSecurity to find type confusions resulting in arbitrary writes. Paper: nebelwelt.net/files/24SEC4.p…
In the last @vu5ec presentation at @USENIXSecurity, @hanyrax discusses GhostRace and explains how attackers can exploit speculative race conditions in the Linux kernel.

A big thank you to the local organizers in Vienna for hosting an outstanding event! Thanks to the outgoing chair @herbertbos and good luck for 2025 to the PC co-chairs @kcotsneb and Anja Lehmann - follow this space for the CfP and changes for the 2025 Venice edition of EuroS&P.
So... Andy won the ACM Software System Award for MINIX!
I feel very proud and privileged to have worked with him (on MINIX 3 and other things)! He is one of the true pioneers of operating systems and one of the reasons i came to @VUamsterdam.

Zodra de stembussen gesloten zijn, starten de stembureauleden met het tellen van de stemmen. Dit gebeurt in het openbaar en iedereen mag daarbij aanwezig zijn.
Je mag het telproces niet verstoren, dus er gelden enkele regels 👇

The Belgian presidency has drafted yet another tweaked #chatcontrol proposal. In summary, the proposal remains completely unacceptable. TLDR: All the problems pointed our in our open letters are still there nce.mpi-sp.org/index.php/s/e… & docs.google.com/document/d/1… 🧵1/6
Belgien schlägt jetzt zur #Chatkontrolle eine „Upload-Moderation“ vor. Demnach sollen Nutzer zustimmen, dass ihre Inhalte gescannt werden. netzpolitik.org/2024/interne…

Yes, James formed a 5-person band consisting of himself only and wrote a heavy metal album
