Is it science?

izardYesterday I enjoyed reading a paper on side channel attack using shared LLC from Javascript code. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dr_klm would argue that this is not science, and may be he is right.
The article claims a side channel attack, but describes merely a one way side channel communication that needs a sender on the target side. For an attack, full source code of the code being attacked is required, and a lot of work on post-processing.
What is really important in the article is a reference to reverse engineered hash function that maps physical address to LLC sets.
