Screenshot: “In the face of continued exploitation by advanced threat actors, Apple’s implementation of Exclaves represents a large investment to add extra defence in depth to their operating systems. By isolating sensitive resources, Apple is shrinking their potential attack surface and reducing the impact of any single kernel compromise. Defending monolithic kernels is a Sisyphean task, and exclaves represent one method of dealing with the challenge — is it the right direction for the long term, or a temporary step? In my dreams, I imagine a future redesign using CHERI and a production implementation of ARM Morello 😊 Regardless, it’s a defensive effort on a larger scale than any other end user device manufacturer is currently attempting.”
A five-panel comic featuring a character holding a purple notebook. In panel one, the character says, "I got myself this big fancy notebook to write great ideas in." In panel two, they pause, looking concerned, and say, "But what if it's too fancy?" In panel three, they appear even more worried, adding, "What if it's stifling my creative flow because I'm too afraid to take risks and make mistakes in its pages?" In panel four, they silently stare at the notebook. The final panel shows the character writing happily on colorful sticky notes, surrounded by numerous other brightly colored notes scattered across the desk, while the big fancy notebook remains unused off to the side.
