  • How Terrarium reframes the compiler and sandbox relationship

    Tyler McMullen

    Get hands-on with Terrarium, a Fastly project that lets developers harness the power of edge computing in the languages they already use. See how this technology demonstration came to be (and why we're even using that term), what problems it solves, and where it's headed.

  • Hijacking the control flow of a WebAssembly program

    Jonathan Foote

    While WebAssembly has already proven a fertile attack surface for the browser, as more web application code moves to WebAssembly from Javascript there will be a need to research and secure WebAssembly programs themselves. The WebAssembly design obviates common classes of attacks that might be inherited from development languages like C and C++, but there is still some room for exploitation. This tutorial will cover control flow protection guarantees provided by WebAssembly, known weaknesses, and how to use clang control flow integrity (CFI) in WebAssembly programs to mitigate some risks around control flow hijacks.
