I’ll say this: I did a small lab in college for a hardware security class and I got a scary email from IT because CrowdStrike noticed there was some program using speculative execution/cache invalidation to leak data on my account - they recognized my small scale example leaking a couple of bytes. Pretty impressive to be honest.

Did you have CrowdStrike installed on your personal machine, or did they detect it over the network somehow?
We ran our code on our own accounts on the school’s system.
