Jepsen: ParticleDB 1.1.4
Modern applications often spread state across a variety of systems: databases, caches, queues, data warehouses, search indices, and so on. Coordinating these systems is challenging: caches are often stale, the analytics platform might lag days behind the primary database, the search index might lose data, and…

Data-only attacks are easier than you think (2024)
Data-only attacks, those that do not affect a program’s control flow, have long been considered too sophisticated and niche to pose a practical threat. With our research, however, we have built a tool that automatically generates them with surprising ease. We explain how such attacks work, and why our tool, Einstein…
