Wushu lovers, do you really get Wushu?

BEIJING, Aug. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — A news report by China.org.cn on Chinese Wushu:

The Chengdu 2021 FISU World University Games has come to a successful closure. In retrospect, we could see that the event depicting the most vivid Chinese characteristics is the Wushu (martial arts) event. Wushu masters from all over the world stepped into the arena against Chinese-style background music, donning splendid traditional Chinese attires, and bringing their best game like high-spirited heroes. Nanquan (Southern fist), Taijiquan (Taichi Chuan), Wushu Sanda (martial arts free fighting) … The electrifying routines of these athletes seem to have brought audiences into a wuxia world appropriated by popular Chinese fiction and film, presenting the charm of Chinese Wushu.

In fact, just like combat sports from other countries, the art of Wushu could be traced to prehistoric times when it was practiced as a form of combat. However, the features of Chinese culture endowed Wushu with unique “charisma” and traits.

Traditional Chinese culture was deeply rooted in agrarian civilization. Several millennia ago, Chinese ancestors observed celestial movements and the sundry geographies on this vast land, and perceived that the universe and everything in it formed a dialectical relationship, a philosophy that makes humanity and nature at one. On such philosophical soil sprouted Chinese Wushu.

The elements of Taijiquan, including motion and stillness, emptiness and fullness, opening and closing, capture the interplay of the universe’s yin and yang binary. In China, when martial arts practitioners compete with each other, they abide by the notions of “skilled competition over power tussle” and “refrain from causing actual harm.” During a fight-off, one would answer high moves with lower moves, respond to speed with slower motions, and repay strength with softness, which are, in a nutshell, the embodiment of the Confucian philosophy of “harmony in diversity,” one that tends to convert any discordancy to harmony. Therefore, the essence of Chinese Wushu lies in oppressing violence and aiding the weak, instead of fueling the belligerent or bullying the powerless. “Truly great martial arts are against violence, and genuine combats are not about fighting,” the idiom expresses the gist of Chinese Wushu.

Wushu has developed over millennia, deriving many genres. Weapons like dao (broadsword), jian (sword), gun (cudgel) and qiang (spear) are used, and there are also barehanded Wushu genres like Taijiquan, Xingyiquan and Yongchunquan (Wing Chun), all of which embody the philosophy of harmony and togetherness.

China Mosaic hasn’t introduced any specific Chinese culture for you in a long time. Today we’re talking about Chinese Wushu because it is a beloved topic of many international friends, among whom many wonder if it’s true that every Chinese knows Kungfu? Here’s the thing: Not every one of us has learned Wushu or knows Kungfu. But, Wushu is indeed an epitome of the overarching Chinese mindset. The traditional cultural elements that find themselves in Wushu shape the Chinese people in many ways, while influencing the ideas and values that China adheres to when interacting with other parts of the world.

When youngsters from all around the globe learn and perform Wushu, they are actually in a process of understanding Chinese culture and approaching the Chinese people. Nurturing one’s soul and cultivating one’s character, making more friends, while pursuing the shared beauty of harmony through Wushu, is a culture that originates from China but belongs to the world.

Downfall Vulnerability in Intel Chips Raises Security Concerns

August 11, 2023 Rae Lim Leave a comment

A recently discovered vulnerability in Intel chips, named “Downfall,” has the potential to expose millions of users to cybersecurity threats. Cybersecurity researcher Daniel Moghimi, who is associated with the University of California and Google, discovered the major vulnerability. The vulnerability affects a large number of Intel chips produced over the last decade.

The vulnerability centres around the ability of malicious programmes to access data belonging to other applications. Therefore, it poses significant risks to user privacy and security. At the core of “Downfall” is the exploitation of the “register buffer” feature present in modern processors. With it, processors are able to optimise certain operations for faster execution.

What Is a Register Buffer?

Imagine a computer processor as a super-fast brain that helps your computer think and do tasks quickly. This brain needs to remember things temporarily while it is working, just like you might jot down a few things on a sticky note while solving a puzzle. The “register buffer” is like that sticky note – it is a temporary data storage place in the processor where it keeps important information for a short time to help with tasks. Sometimes, the processor may also keep sensitive information like passwords in the register buffer.

So here is the catch: if a hacker finds a way to look inside this register buffer, they might see your password or other sensitive information they’re not supposed to have access to. So, the “Downfall” vulnerability is like discovering a hidden crack in the wall next to the shelf where the processor keeps its sticky note. If someone figures out how to use that crack to take a peek at the content of the sticky note, they could get their hands on sensitive information such as your online bank password and more.

The Potential Impact of Downfall

As you can see, the impact of this vulnerability is far-reaching, particularly for the cloud computing industry. Many servers are using similar setups built on Intel and AMD processors to run workloads, it stands to reason that since the vulnerability affects a swatch of processors, these cloud setups and the businesses that use them could be at risk of a major breach. If these servers are susceptible to Downfall, hackers could have a field day, stealing sensitive information from high-profile organisations worldwide.

According to Intel exploiting this flaw is not exactly a walk in the park. While Intel acknowledged the issue, they mentioned the discovery of “Downfall” happened under very specific conditions – not exactly what hackers encounter in the real world. Newer Intel chips, including Alder Lake, Raptor Lake, and Sapphire Rapids, are reportedly not susceptible to this vulnerability. You may check for the full list of affected devices here.

Preventing Vulnerability and Mitigation Strategy

Intel has released a microcode fix to patch up this vulnerability. While Intel claims that most workloads will not slow down, some specific activities such as heavy data processing might be affected. So, the trade-off here is between keeping your data safe and not compromising device performance.

The discovery of the Downfall vulnerability in Intel chips is a significant concern for cybersecurity. It showcases the delicate balance between performance optimisation and security, highlighting the need for continuous vigilance and adaptation in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.

Meta Empowers Businesses to Leverage AI & Insights for Business Messaging

August 11, 2023 Nur Jeevan Leave a comment

There’s no denying that businesses that fail to engage with their customers are doomed to stagnate and eventually die. As a matter of fact, Meta reports that over 1B people are regularly engaging with businesses on Meta platforms. This number isn’t industry specific either, it covers over 55% of every industry.

Meta continues to innovate on its platforms to allow businesses to leverage them to drive business objectives. Platforms like WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook continue to be some of the most valuable touchpoints for businesses as it brings a mix of familiarity and proximity to both sides. It also allows businesses to leverage these aspects to build a persona and personality to better relate to its target audience. Recognising these factors, Meta has continually been innovating to allow businesses to leverage its platforms and the latest in technologies that complement them.

Leveraging AI to Ensure Platform Safety and Innovate to Empower Businesses

The latest to join the suite of tools is Artificial Intelligence. That’s not to say that Meta hasn’t used AI before. In fact, Facebook integrated AI into its timeline back in 2006. However, with the surge in interest when it comes to Generative AI, it is quickly becoming more apparent that we are indeed in AI 2.0.

Meta Business Messaging 1 — Source: Meta Malaysia

Using the new advances in AI technology, Meta has quickly adapted to address newer trends and incorporate these advances to drive better results with less data. This also comes in the wake of a growing number of regions and countries clamping down on data privacy and security. The incorporation of Machine Learning algorithms and newer AI 2.0 advancements have led to 82% of hate speech being removed through automated means on platforms like Instagram and Facebook.

Meta is also implementing new algorithms that are created to use less data to deliver comparable or better results for businesses. To date, these algorithms have delivered a 20% increase in conversions for businesses leveraging them. With these algorithm’s working in the background, it falls to businesses to leverage them to drive business outcomes.

Business Messaging & Continuing the Customer Journey on Meta Platforms

As AI continues to become a deeply integrated factor for business continuity, we have to know and use the tools – paid or otherwise – that will not only allow for better outcomes but also help create a better customer experience.

Meta Business Messaging 3 — Source: Meta Malaysia

Meta’s Business Suite and Ads Manager are continually being updated with tools that integrate AI technology to drive better business outcomes. One such tool is Meta’s Creative+ option which appears when you post content to your page. This feature allows you to test up to 4 different creatives to determine which delivers the best results.

Using features like this, businesses are able to extend their reach while keeping costs down. It also allows businesses to leverage the familiarity of the platforms to drive customer loyalty through business messaging. This comes in addition to AI-assisted product discovery with more broadly, AI-determined audiences for better conversions. AI-assisted determination also can help leverage behavioural data to optimise touchpoints based on customer behaviour.

This data can also be used to create chatbots that allow businesses to interact with customers more effectively. These chatbots can be built to suit the unique needs of businesses while still allowing for the flexibility for humans to jump in at any time.

Understanding Trends and Leveraging Them

One of the most important things to pay attention to is the trends that are emerging and continually shifting. These trends play a significant role in determining the combination of tools that will fit business needs. More importantly, it will also help determine the best approach for success on Meta’s platforms.

Meta shared a study on McDonald’s Malaysia leveraged the fact that there is an increasing number of users spending more time-consuming video content on Facebook and Instagram to be the driving force behind their recruitment campaign. Using reels available on Facebook and Instagram, the company was able to communicate the experience of being an employee at a McDonald’s outlet. Of course, the reels produced naturally embellished the experience with some fictional elements to generate interest and convey the business’s policies. This cornerstone content allowed McDonald’s to communicate directly to their target audience – Gen Z.

This falls in line with Meta’s own data which shows that more than 50% of time spent on Facebook and Instagram is spent consuming video content. This includes long-form videos, reels and even stories. In fact, reels may be the best touch point with over 200 Billion plays per day.

Meta’s Just Getting Started with AI 2.0 and Businesses Need to Start Leveraging It Now

It’s only the tip of the iceberg of how AI 2.0 will be impacting our world when it comes to creating consumer journeys, continuing Business Messaging and even creating content. Meta has already announced AI efforts like LLaMA which will no doubt factor into new tools that will come to its platforms in the future.

This will also entail businesses needing to deal with scams head-on hand in hand with regulators and companies like Meta. Meta is already working on identity verifications which will be more widely available to users as the year progresses. However, the company has yet to announce the same verification measures for businesses but we have it on good authority that it will be coming soon.

AMD’s Zen 3 & Zen 4 CPUs Are At Risk of Exploitations Thanks to New “Inception” Vulnerability

August 10, 2023 Rae Lim Leave a comment

Researchers at ETH Zurich have identified a series of vulnerabilities in AMD’s CPUs. The vulnerabilities have been identified in CPUs with the Zen 3 and Zen 4 architecture in particular and are present across the board in both desktop and laptop CPUs and APUs with the architecture.

The vulnerability, identified now as “Inception”, takes advantage of speculative execution, a technique where a computer predicts and performs operations it anticipates needing in the future. Using an attack method called Training in Transient Execution (TTE), the affected CPUs can be manipulated to believe that they have seen a certain set of instructions before even if it has never happened before.

In the simplest of terms, the exploit acts exactly like how Leonardo DiCaprio and his team did in the movie “Inception”. Similar to how they were able to plant an idea to retrieve information, the vulnerability in AMD CPUs can do the same thing.

In fact, XDA Developers described that “Inception” takes its name from the movie of the same title, where the central concept involves implanting an idea in someone’s dream. In the exploit context, researchers metaphorically implant an “idea” into the CPU during its “dream-like” state, causing it to execute incorrect instructions. This manipulation of the CPU’s control flow is the core mechanism exploited by Inception.

Exploiting A Kernel Memory Breach

The vulnerability poses a serious security threat as “Inception” is an end-to-end exploit that can covertly leak sensitive information from Zen 3 and Zen 4 processors. The exploit can access confidential kernel memory, including sensitive files like “/etc/shadow” on Linux systems. This file holds hashed user account passwords, typically safeguarded and accessible only to the root user.

According to XDA Developers, with a leakage rate of up to 39 bytes per second, Inception has the capability to retrieve these passwords within 40 minutes.

Exploitation of Speculative Execution

The workings of Inception draw parallels to a similar exploit named Zenbleed. ETH Zurich researchers leveraged the TTE technique to craft an attack capable of infiltrating AMD Zen CPUs. This involves manipulating speculative execution to carry out actions that may not be immediately necessary, a strategy often used to optimise processing.

Inception: leaking the root hash from /etc/shadow on AMD Zen 4

A central component in this attack is the Branch Target Buffer (BTB) and the Return Stack Buffer (RSB). Inception disrupts branch prediction during the transient window by introducing fresh predictions into the branch predictor. This action creates more powerful transient windows, which can then be exploited to overflow the Return Stack Buffer. Ultimately, this allows Inception to take control of the CPU.

Preventing Exploitation and Mitigation Strategy

AMD has acknowledged the vulnerability in a recent bulletin. The company has released a µcode patch for the affected processors which can be applied via a BIOS update.

According to XDA Developers, like Intel’s “Spectre” vulnerability, effective mitigation strategies remain challenging. One proposed mitigation approach involves flushing the branch predictor during context switches. However, this could inflict significant performance degradation.

If you are using one of the following processors, it would be best to check for a BIOS update.

Desktop CPUs & APUs:

3rd & 4th Gen AMD EPYC CPUs
Ryzen 5000 & 4000 Series Desktop Processors (including CPUs like Ryzen 5 5600G or Ryzen 7 4700G APUs)
Ryzen 7000 Series Desktop Processors
Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5000WX Series Processors

Mobile CPUs:

Ryzen 5000 Series Mobile Processors
Ryzen 6000 Series Processors (with Radeon Graphics)
Ryzen 7035 Series Processors (with Radeon Graphics)
Ryzen 7030 Series Processors (with Radeon Graphics)
Ryzen 7040 Series Processors (with Radeon Graphics)
