Meltdown and Specter Attack
The security of online, cyber or computer is always important. There has been a lot of work to be done since the beginning of the computer and there will be always. We are all know about antivirus. We also belief that good antivirus can protect our mobile, computer from these harmful software, which can damage the device by stealing our information from theft. Basically, these attacks are the only chance that the operating system has a bug (error or gaps). From the beginning of the computer age, the biggest bugs of time have been found some time ago. And this bug is so horrific that it could say that since 1995, all computers and mobile devices can cause attack. Most of the world's computers are scrambling to attack. This story is more horrible from the horror story. It does not matter, there is no security anywhere.
So far, big or dangerous viruses or bugs were based on specific software or operating systems. But the processor responsible for new bugs. The processor tried to increase the speed by following some techniques. Those who use Chrome know that this browser has already started loading many websites. When you go to a website or search something, Chrome already loads some of the results of the search websites. As a result, if you click on those links quickly load. Processors do the same work. Knowing the opportunity ahead of his latest instruction and keeping some work forward as a couple.
Meltdown and Specter Attack Understanding the processor is a mistake, and the information is captured. When we run any software, it loads into RAM. If you run many software. Sometimes loads are not loaded as much as needed. The processor is sure to get a software or application that does not get any information or data from other software. Using some addresses separates them and an application prevents others from using other application information. The Meltdown attack processor conflicts with this separation and implies that he has access to another app or kernel. And with this opportunity, many other tools can be handled by the software and other user information. Spectors also take similar advantage.
The buggy of the processor, but it's a serious challenge to all security experts. It is not possible to switch the processor at all. And now the way it can be solved, the processor's performance can be worse. If the fast computer of the day is slow to slow down, and who will be good. Modern processors have the same bugs from many previous processors. This bug is also not only on computers, but also on mobile or other smart devices where there are Intel, MSI or other processors. Cloud or share computing systems are more in danger. If you have multiple users on the same PC, then your account information will be trafficked for other users.
To do now:
1.Release various updates to other operating systems, solving problems. It will be wise to update the computer quickly. Apple released the patch for meltdown. Other operating systems also Specter is still working.However, this bug is not in the apple watch or the bug. Because they did not use Intel's processor.
2.It is necessary to ensure that nothing is installed from anywhere except for a trustworthy place.
3.If there is a multi-user, if another ID is a low-paid person, then it will be necessary to install or not install anything from them.
Hopefully, the security experts will soon find out some good ways to solve this problem. Personally I have never been able to think of the internet as completely safe. Meltdown and Specter Attack showed us how careful our computer has to look at all the details. Until now, it can not be ascertained whether the damage caused by this bug has not yet been done or has happened at all. But undoubtedly this is the most dangerous bug, and I, you, we are all in front of it. The only reason to tell stories is to get rid of the information or password if anyone can use it properly or use it. Cloud computing will be the name of a serious danger if it is not resolved properly.
