The Timing Attacks They Are A-Changin' - Web-based and Browser-based Timing Attack Techniques

Explore the evolving landscape of timing attacks in web security through this 42-minute conference talk from AppSecEU 2016 in Rome. Delve into various timing attack concepts, including the Drunkenness Timing Attack and its experimental results. Examine web-based timing attacks, their relationship to the Same-Origin Policy, and classic cross-site timing attacks. Investigate browser-based timing attacks, such as the Video Parsing Attack, Cache Storing Attack, and Age-discovery Attack. Learn about additional attack vectors, mitigation strategies, and engage in a Q&A session to deepen your understanding of this critical aspect of application security.
