wsIPC is a Proof-of-Concept for Windows that abuses shared RO pages in the process Working Set (page cache) to build a simple covert inter-process communication channel.
Page Cache Attacks is a recently published paper by Gruss et al. which describes a page-resolution side-channel due to process-level page caching on OSes such as Linux and Windows. Full details are in the paper.
This VS2017 solution consists of a wsIPC dynamically-linked library which implements the side channel-based communications and some demo template code to show how it's used. To run, simply start one instance of Demo.exe as the sender:
PS C:\wsIPC> .\Demo.exe send
_______ _____
_ _____ / _/ _ \/ ___/
| |/|/ (_-<_/ // ___/ /__
|__,__/___/___/_/ \___/
