speed47/spectre-meltdown-checker

Features

• Processor Security Auditing - Tests the physical processor and operating system to ensure side-channel vulnerabilities are properly addressed.
• Hardware-Kernel Security Correlation - Matches CPU hardware identifiers against kernel configuration flags to determine the effective security posture.
• Static Binary Analysis - Parses compiled kernel images to identify security flags and mitigation patches without executing the code.
• Hardware - Identifies hardware weaknesses by searching for specific instruction sequences or missing mitigation markers in binaries.
• Kernel Security Auditors - Evaluates Linux kernel images and configurations for the presence of vulnerability mitigations.
• Transient Execution Mitigation Audits - Verifies protection against Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities by analyzing CPU and software settings.
• CPU Vulnerability Assessments - Analyzes CPU hardware and kernel configurations to identify susceptibility to transient execution vulnerabilities.
• CPU - Detects susceptibility to Spectre, Meltdown, and other transient execution vulnerabilities on CPU hardware.
• Kernel Image Security Analysis - Evaluates standalone kernel images to identify active security mitigations without requiring a running kernel.
• Security Posture Evaluation - Evaluates vulnerability status by intersecting CPU hardware capabilities with active operating system boot parameters.
• Transient Execution Analysis - Checks for side-channel attack vulnerabilities and the status of hardware-level security patches.
