Gaining Precision in Information Leakage Attacks
By Robert HansenIt’s hard to narrow down your life’s work into
one interesting event or tidbit. Even
picking 10 would be tough. So instead
of picking something I am well-known for, I wanted to look for something I had
a lot of fun coming up with that you probably didn’t read. I’ve always been interested in information
leakage as an exploit class. It’s
something most people like to overlook, in favor of the higher-profile
exploits. Sure, it’s a lot sexier to
go after the direct administrative compromise, but I enjoy the nuances of
piecing together big puzzles. Information leakage as a class provides me that kind of mental
stimulus.
