Blacksmith

This is a race that the security industry needs to run together in order to win – which is why SentinelOne today is releasing a new free tool to prevent Meltdown exploitation while the patching process catches up.

Dubbed Blacksmith, this tool detects the attempted exploitation of Meltdown vulnerability on all Linux systems, empowering Linux admins to stop attacks before they take root.


There are two key factors for why we chose to prioritize the Linux version of this tool. First, because Linux is very susceptible to such attacks as there is no comprehensive solution available. And second, Linux is the preferred OS of the world’s top supercomputers and therefore, is a high-value target for attackers. Together, these reasons made it clear that it was critical to help secure Linux environments as quickly and effectively as possible right now.

Requires lib -- may run under artful or stretch

Hi Tried to run it under Xenialpup64. ldd reported:

"/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.22' not found (required by /mnt/home/my-stuff/temp1/s1-blacksmith.zip.extracted/s1-blacksmith)
libstdc++.so.6 (GLIBCXX_3.4.22) => not found"

Xenialpup64 already included libstdc++.so.6. So blacksmith is looking for a different version of that lib; perhaps newer and, thus, possibly found under artful or stretch.
