Erik Bosman is a PhD student in the Systems and Network Security group at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in the Netherlands. He is currently working on novel side-channel attacks for leaking sensitive information from the OS and applications. He has previously developed Signal Return-Oriented Programming, a highly portable exploitation technique that abuses signal frames for creating a weird machine that the attackers can program. His minemu system is the world fastest dynamic taint-tracker that can be used to protect binaries against memory corruption attacks.
