Breaking Bitcoin | Rowhammer | Outlaw

In a quick break from a constant stream of compromises and malware, this week had a number of interesting research articles including a novel application of Rowhammer to leak private keys, a fun malware obfuscation technique using certificate files, and a ton of awesome research coming from the Breaking Bitcoin conference (check out links to videos below).
