BotchagalupeMarks for September 11th – 20:01

These are my links for September 11th from 20:01 to 21:21:
- Hey, You, Get Off of My Cloud: Exploring Information Leakage in Third-Party Compute Clouds – However, in this paper, we show
that this approach can also introduce new vulnerabilities.
Using the Amazon EC2 service as a case study, we show that
it is possible to map the internal cloud infrastructure, iden-
tify 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. - Infrastructure 2.0 – My recent podcast on infrastructure 2.0 with John Willis reminded me of some recent banter about my use of the term “Cambrian explosion” to talk about where IT is headed when infrastructure 2.0 becomes a reality. In short, today we have a classic preconditions scenario when automated systems are connected with automated networks. Synergy is putting it mildly.
- Top 100 Global Venture Capitalists – After long research, Red Herring is releasing its Top 100 Global Venture Capitalists list. This comes as economies have radically changed across the globe, seriously challenging the asset class.
