Hi everyone! I'm excited to announce that my first first-author paper has been accepted at NDSS 2026 🥳, to be held at San Diego, California, USA. If you're attending #NDSS2026 this year and are working on systems security, let me know - it'd be awesome to meet up!

Eviction Notice: Reviving and Advancing Page Cache Attacks

@vmcall, Jonas Juffinger, Lukas Maar, @lavados

all of us from @isec_tugraz, at TU Graz, Austria.

In the paper, we revive practical attacks on the Linux page cache and also provide a systematic classification & understanding of primitives which interact with page cache. This understanding helps us advance page cache attacks, including speeding up previously known mechanisms by six orders of magnitude.

I have a small technical write up on my website if you're interested to check it out: https://snee.la/posts/eviction-notice/

Paper available here: https://snee.la/pdf/pubs/eviction-notice.pdf

Our artifacts have been evaluated to be available, functional, and reproducible, so feel free to try the code out on your Linux box: https://github.com/isec-tugraz/Eviction-Notice
