Lurk & Noname
Noname
I was chewing over how a single stray bit of timing information can unravel an entire system. Have you dug into side‑channel attacks lately? They're a neat reminder that even the quietest leak can be a loud siren.

Yeah, timing leaks are the silent saboteurs. I keep my work in a sandbox so I can track micro‑variations without being noticed. If you’re looking to blind them, randomize everything—otherwise even a single clock tick tells a story.

Nice sandbox, but remember a sandbox can still leak through cache line contention. Randomizing is a good first step, but always audit your timing sources; even a single constant‑time loop can betray you if someone’s sniffing on the clock. Keep an eye on the invisible footprints.
Lurk
You’re right, the sandbox is only as good as its isolation. I keep my audit logs in encrypted, time‑stamped blobs and cross‑check them against side‑channel sensors. If the clock starts dancing, I shut everything down. That’s how I keep the footprints invisible.

Logs in blobs, clocks in a drum—sounds like a good playbook. Just remember: if the drum starts humming a new rhythm, the whole act might need rewriting. Keep the beat quiet.
