  • Implementation of an Orthogonally Persistent L4 -Kernel Based System
    Implementation of an Orthogonally Persistent L4 -Kernel Based System Christian Ceelen ÐÒÖºÙ º Supervisor: Cand. Scient. Espen Skoglund Universitat¨ Karlsruhe 15th February 2002 2 3 Abstract Orthogonal persistent systems open up possibilities for a wide number of appli- cations. Even more, it is a very natural concept for the storage of information, since objects and information persists until the end of their lifetime. Most current commercial non-persistent systems have only an explicit storage model. Thus, an application has to care for the persistent storage of data itself. This has to be done by transforming the data structures into something that can be stored within a file. Furthermore the file has to be opened, written to and saved explicitly; a source of overhead for programmers. Moreover the programmer also has to estimate the life-time of all valuable data. Including the conversion and recovery of data, the amount of code needed to store data explicitly could easily take up a third or half of the actual programming work. In order to support a convenient system environment, persistent storage could be handled implicitly by the operating system. The operating system has to store for each task an image of the user memory and all kernel internal data like page- tables, mapping structures, file descriptors and so on. This approach is very de- manding and very error-prone for current monolithic systems. Therefore we pro- pose a -kernel based system instead. The proposed work should provide an implementation base for further persistent systems by supplying the necessary mechanisms to build persistent applications on top of the -kernel.

  • Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X
    1 Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X "Most ideas come from previous ideas." Alan Curtis Kay The Mac OS X operating system represents a rather successful coming together of paradigms, ideologies, and technologies that have often resisted each other in the past. A good example is the cordial relationship that exists between the command-line and graphical interfaces in Mac OS X. The system is a result of the trials and tribulations of Apple and NeXT, as well as their user and developer communities. Mac OS X exemplifies how a capable system can result from the direct or indirect efforts of corporations, academic and research communities, the Open Source and Free Software movements, and, of course, individuals. Apple has been around since 1976, and many accounts of its history have been told. If the story of Apple as a company is fascinating, so is the technical history of Apple's operating systems. In this chapter,[1] we will trace the history of Mac OS X, discussing several technologies whose confluence eventually led to the modern-day Apple operating system. [1] This book's accompanying web site (www.osxbook.com) provides a more detailed technical history of all of Apple's operating systems. 1 2 2 1 1.1. Apple's Quest for the[2] Operating System [2] Whereas the word "the" is used here to designate prominence and desirability, it is an interesting coincidence that "THE" was the name of a multiprogramming system described by Edsger W. Dijkstra in a 1968 paper. It was March 1988. The Macintosh had been around for four years.

  • Hypervisor-Based Active Data Protection for Integrity And
    The 13th Annual ADFSL Conference on Digital Forensics, Security and Law, 2018 HYPERVISOR-BASED ACTIVE DATA PROTECTION FOR INTEGRITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY OF DYNAMICALLY ALLOCATED MEMORY IN WINDOWS KERNEL Igor Korkin, PhD Security Researcher Moscow, Russia [email protected] ABSTRACT One of the main issues in the OS security is providing trusted code execution in an untrusted environment. During executing, kernel-mode drivers dynamically allocate memory to store and process their data: Windows core kernel structures, users’ private information, and sensitive data of third-party drivers. All this data can be tampered with by kernel-mode malware. Attacks on Windows-based computers can cause not just hiding a malware driver, process privilege escalation, and stealing private data but also failures of industrial CNC machines. Windows built-in security and existing approaches do not provide the integrity and confidentiality of the allocated memory of third-party drivers. The proposed hypervisor-based system (AllMemPro) protects allocated data from being modified or stolen. AllMemPro prevents access to even 1 byte of allocated data, adapts for newly allocated memory in real time, and protects the driver without its source code. AllMemPro works well on newest Windows 10 1709 x64. Keywords: hypervisor-based protection, Windows kernel, Intel, CNC security, rootkits, dynamic data protection. 1. INTRODUCTION The vulnerable VirtualBox driver (VBoxDrv.sys) Currently, protection of data in computer memory has been exploited by Turla rootkit and allows to is becoming essential. Growing integration of write arbitrary values to any kernel memory (Singh, ubiquitous Windows-based computers into 2015; Kirda, 2015). industrial automation makes this security issue critically important.

  • Cpre 488 – Embedded Systems Design
    CprE 488 – Embedded Systems Design MP-3: Embedded Linux Assigned: Monday of Week 8 Due: Monday of Week 10 Points: 100 + bonus for target recognition capabilities [Note: to this point in the semester we have been writing bare metal code, i.e. applications without anything more than the most basic system software (“standalone” mode in Xilinx terms). While this comes with several advantages due to its simplicity, it is fairly common for embedded systems to run an Operating System (OS). As the complexities of an OS are significant enough to merit their own course, in this class we are focusing more on practical aspects of porting an OS (Linux) to an (ARM-based) embedded system. Specifically, the goal of this Machine Problem is for your group to gain familiarity with three different aspects of embedded system design: 1. Linux bring up – you will work through the stages of configuring, compiling, and booting for an open source Linux kernel targeting the Xilinx ZedBoard. 2. Linux driver development – you will adapt a template to develop a driver for a USB-powered missile launcher. 3. Linux system programming – you will write applications that target conventional Linux device drivers.] 1) Your Mission. It was bound to happen sooner or later. I am of course speaking of an alien invasion. Having already laid waste to the 100 most populous cities in the United States, the aliens have moved on to central Iowa. Holed up in Coover Hall, you and your friends have miraculously discovered the aliens’ hidden weakness: foam-tipped darts! It’s arguably no less plausible than the plot of Independence Day or even Signs.

    Popcorn Linux: enabling efficient inter-core communication in a Linux-based multikernel operating system Benjamin H. Shelton Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Computer Engineering Binoy Ravindran Christopher Jules White Paul E. Plassman May 2, 2013 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Operating systems, multikernel, high-performance computing, heterogeneous computing, multicore, scalability, message passing Copyright 2013, Benjamin H. Shelton Popcorn Linux: enabling efficient inter-core communication in a Linux-based multikernel operating system Benjamin H. Shelton (ABSTRACT) As manufacturers introduce new machines with more cores, more NUMA-like architectures, and more tightly integrated heterogeneous processors, the traditional abstraction of a mono- lithic OS running on a SMP system is encountering new challenges. One proposed path forward is the multikernel operating system. Previous efforts have shown promising results both in scalability and in support for heterogeneity. However, one effort’s source code is not freely available (FOS), and the other effort is not self-hosting and does not support a majority of existing applications (Barrelfish). In this thesis, we present Popcorn, a Linux-based multikernel operating system. While Popcorn was a group effort, the boot layer code and the memory partitioning code are the authors work, and we present them in detail here. To our knowledge, we are the first to support multiple instances of the Linux kernel on a 64-bit x86 machine and to support more than 4 kernels running simultaneously. We demonstrate that existing subsystems within Linux can be leveraged to meet the design goals of a multikernel OS.

  • 101 Ways to Save Apple by James Daly
    http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/5.06/apple_pr.html 101 Ways to Save Apple By James Daly An assessment of what can be done to fix a once-great company. Dear Apple, In the movie Independence Day, a PowerBook saves the earth from destruction. Now it's time to return the favor. Unfortunately, even devoted Mac addicts must admit that you look a little beleaguered these days: a confusing product line, little inspiration from the top, software developers fleeing. But who wants to live in a world without you? Not us. So we surveyed a cross section of hardcore Mac fans and came up with 101 ways to get you back on the path to salvation. We chose not to resort to time travel or regurgitate the same old shoulda/coulda/wouldas (you shoulda licensed your OS in 1987, for instance, or coulda upped your price/performance in 1993). We don't believe Apple is rotten to the core. Chrysler nearly went under in the late 1970s and came back to lead its industry. Here's a fresh assessment of what can be done to fix your once-great company using the material at hand. Don't wait for a miracle. You have the power to save the world - and yourself. Edited by James Daly 1. Admit it. You're out of the hardware game. Outsource your hardware production, or scrap it entirely, to compete more directly with Microsoft without the liability of manufacturing boxes. 2. License the Apple name/technology to appliance manufacturers and build GUIs for every possible device - from washing machines to telephones to WebTV.
