DEFCONConference · Talk · 45 min · 2013 · YouTube title: DEF CON 19 - Artem Dinaburg - Bit-squatting: DNS Hijacking Without Exploitation
Why it's here
Recommended as a fun, practical talk on why bit flips matter for security, and cited in ECC memory discussions.
What it covers
Artem Dinaburg's DEF CON 19 talk on bit-squatting, where DRAM bit flips cause DNS requests to go to domains one bit off from the intended one. It shows how hardware faults can be exploited for hijacking without any software exploit.
