mFIT: A Bump-in-the-Wire Tool for Plug-and-Play Analysis of Rowhammer Susceptibility Factors

This repository captures the design and software for mFIT (the memory fault injection tool).

mFIT interposes between the CPU and a DDR4 DIMM and can programmatically suppress the REF command. This allows researchers to study DRAM DIMMs in the absence of the refresh operation.

Please refer to the Tech Report MSR-TR-2021-25 for a technical description of mFIT.

Repository organization

1. hardware contains the KiCAD schematics and PCB desings,
2. firmware contains the code that runs on mFIT's control board,
3. client contains the client code that interacts with mFIT's control board.
