Does this include Spectre?

Yes!

Our labs include building your own real spectre attack against the kernel, bypassing ASLR and building ROP chains with various side channels, finding and exploiting backdoors in a RISC-V CPU by building a hardware fuzzer, and more.

(source: I designed the Spectre lab plus a few others)

All our labs are fully open source for anyone to try: https://github.com/MATCHA-MIT/SHD-StarterCode

If you give them a try, please do let us know what you think! We genuinely want these activities to be fun and approachable (we designed them like a big CTF) and welcome feedback from the community.

It starts with necessary background into cache side channels and covers transient execution attacks like Spectre.
