This is a small C library written to assist with writing cache-based side-channel attacks. So far, it provides functions that:

• Flush cache lines, given a virtual address.
• Times memory loads and stores, given a virtual address.
• Collects statistics on the system's cache hit/miss timing.
• Extract sections of bits from virtual addresses that correspond to cache line, cache set, and cache tag values.

The library code can be found in `lib/

I've also implemented a few tools and example programs that use the library. These can be found in tools/.

To build the library, simply navigate into lib/ and invoke the makefile.

cd lib
make

To build all tools within tools/, navigate into tools/ and invoke the makefile.

cd tools
make
