A Kernel Hacker Meets Fuchsia OS
Fuchsia is a general-purpose open-source operating system created by Google. It is based on the Zircon microkernel written in C++ and is currently under active development. The developers say that Fuchsia is designed with a focus on security, updatability, and performance.
As a Linux kernel hacker, Alexander decided to take a look at Fuchsia OS and assess it from the attacker's point of view. In this talk, he will share his findings.
