Detecting Spectre Attacks by identifying Cache Side-Channel Attacks using Machine Learning

This projects detects ongoing Spectre attacks, by using a neural network to analyze HPCs (Hardware Performance Counters). More indepth information can be found in the corresponding paper: https://www.cs.hs-rm.de/~kaiser/events/wamos2018/wamos18-proceedings.pdf#page=77

Dataset

The dataset can be found in the dataset directory. However, when using the dataset keep in mind that it was produced in a very constrained environment, as explained in the paper. We only collected the data of a defined set of processes using only one machine. Therefore, it will most likely not be sufficient for training something which is supposed to work in a more general environment and you’ll most likely won’t get anything to work when using a different machine with a different CPU. It depends on what you want to do with the data, but you should probably consider creating your own dataset and retrain the neural network.

Training

You can train your own model by using the code provided in the training directory. Install the requirements in training/requirements.txt and execute:

/path/to/venv/bin/python trainig.py /path/to/dataset.json /path/to/new_model.h5
