A team of academic researchers have developed a pair of new speculative execution attacks on Apple processors that can result in Safari, and in some cases Google Chrome, leaking secrets and recovering sensitive data such as browsing behavior or email contents. The attacks are known as SLAP and FLOP and they affect a wide range of Apple devices, including most modern laptops and desktops, as well as iPads and iPhones.

Thistle’s new terminal emulator is a seamless way to experience our powerful tools directly in your browser, without the need to download or install binaries to your local development environment.

In this blog post, we announce the release of the GitHub action “Create OTA Release”, which helps to create an OTA update release, and publishes it to Thistle's backend platform to update devices running the Thistle Update Client (TUC). With this action, one will be able to automate the OTA release process, for example, from a CI/CD pipeline on GitHub. Our goal is to make deployment of OTA updates easy.

In this blog post, we announce two major updates from Thistle:

• Releasing over-the-air (OTA) updates from the Thistle Control Center

• Firmware signing service for Thistle Verified Boot

To elevate the level of trust in our platform, we built an inclusive integration test suite.

This first blog post will quickly demonstrate the functionalities offered by the Thistle Update Client around a common router platform: OpenWrt.
