Introducing Janus: a hierarchical multi-blockchain access control system for policy based access to shared resources

It is very often the case that critical data or critical devices are co-managed by stakeholders from different domains. Any access to such resources should ideally be transparent to all stakeholders involved, and the access itself should comply with any policies set by the resource owner(s). However, this is not what usually happens in today's systems.

shadow v2 public release

About four months ago (April 2017), Vasilis Tsaousoglou and myself presented our work on exploiting Android's libc allocator at the 2017 INFILTRATE conference (Miami, Florida). Since version 5.0, Android has adopted the jemalloc allocator as its default libc malloc(3) implementation. For our talk we extended our previously released jemalloc heap exploration and exploitation tool called 'shadow' to support Android (both ARM32 and ARM64), and demonstrated its use on understanding the impact of libc heap corruption vulnerabilities. We also presented new jemalloc/Android-specific exploitation techniques for double free and arbitrary free vulnerabilities.
