Programming languages, operating systems, despair and anger -

Or, the State of the End-User Environment / Programming Onion…

So, in a confluence of events, I have been lately looking at Scala and
yesterday spent some time looking at Pike / Thompson / Google et.

Hey, You, Get Off of My Cloud -

Using the Amazon EC2 service as a case study, we show that it is possible to map the internal cloud infrastructure, identify where a particular target VM is likely to reside, and then instantiate new VMs until one is placed co-resident with the target. We explore how such placement can then be used to mount cross-VM side-channel attacks to extract information from a target VM on the same machine.
