MDS Tool is a free security program for Windows και Linux, το οποίο μπορεί να ελέγξει αν το hardware του συστήματός σας είναι ευάλωτο σε attacks Microarchitectural Data Sampling or simply MDS.
Intel unveiled a new set of security issues in its processors on May 14, 2019. The vulnerability is called Microarchitectural Data Sampling or simply MDS (Microarchitectural Data Sampling).
The flaws are related to the already known Specter or Meltdown attacks that were discovered last year and affect all modern Intel processors on servers, desktops, and laptops.
Rogue In-Flight Data Load (RIDL) and Fallout, two from MDS attacks, are different from his attacks last year in several important ways which makes them much more powerful.
Attacks do not depend on the processor's cache and do not need to make assumptions to discover it layout memory. Leaking in-flight data from internal CPU buffers.
Thus successful attacks, can read data from other system processes and could lead to leakage sensitive information such as passwords, credit card numbers or cookies.
MDS Tool is an application that you can run on your system to find out if it is vulnerable to certain attacks. You can download the program from the website MSD Attacks.
Just run the application on your system and you will see if it is vulnerable to attacks or if it is protected.
If you have not yet installed the fixes circulating you will see it as vulnerable.
