Dive deep into the hidden world of microarchitecture security where the very optimizations that make modern processors fast become attack vectors for extracting sensitive data. This comprehensive workshop will take you through the intricate details of x86_64 microarchitecture, from instruction pipelines to speculative execution, revealing how attackers exploit transient execution states to bypass traditional security boundaries.

You'll gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge side-channel attack techniques that leverage CPU caches, timing channels, and fault suppression methods. Our expert-led session covers everything from the theoretical foundations of Tomasulo's algorithm to practical exploitation of speculative execution vulnerabilities like those found in Spectre and Meltdown-class attacks.

Whether you're a security researcher looking to understand CPU-level vulnerabilities, a systems programmer who needs to write secure low-level code, or a cybersecurity professional wanting to comprehend the deepest layers of attack surfaces, this workshop provides the advanced knowledge and practical experience needed to master microarchitecture security.
