rowhammer

Rowhammer is a hardware vulnerability that exploits bitflips in DRAM memory cells, allowing attackers to subjugate the hardware core or chip rather than the operating system's software. This technique can bypass the OS entirely, as seen in exploits targeting Intel chips and Android phones. The tag covers discussions on how Rowhammer bitflips can root Android devices and make malware attacks more potent by manipulating memory at the physical level. It highlights a shared concept of attacking hardware directly, bypassing traditional software defenses.
