microarch-attack-skill

What problem does it solve?

This Skill systematically identifies and analyzes microarchitectural attack vectors, such as transient execution vulnerabilities and cache side-channels, providing detailed findings for security engineers.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Attack Surface Analysis: Identifies vulnerabilities in CPU/GPU/accelerator components related to transient execution, cache side-channels, and shared-resource contention.
• Mitigation Assessment: Evaluates existing hardware and software mitigations and assesses residual risk.
• Use Case: When analyzing a new SoC design, use this Skill to proactively identify potential Spectre or Meltdown variants and understand their impact before hardware tape-out.

Quick Start
