Here’s another post about a paper I’ve read recently. This time it’s not entirely for fun, but I still thought I’d write about this one, Adventures with a certain Xen vulnerability (in the PVFB backend). I’ve read a few security-related papers and articles. In general I’ve found that there’s a huge gap in quality (and sometimes rigor) between the practitioners and academia. This however is a paper that I found to be of good quality, while still being produced by a member of the former camp. Hopefully it will start a trend

I thought I’d start posting little notes about papers I read, especially if I find them interesting and worth reading. So here we go!

I read this paper on the bus this morning. I suspect I got it off Lambda the Ultimate a while back, printed it and then kept it in my bag for several months.
