I may be wrong, but isn't there an almost unlimited amount of ways that you could determine wallclock time?
Any kind of networking access can get it (with enough samples, you can get some crazy precision over even the most inconsistent networks), and really any kind of I/O could be abused when combined with another exploits.
And if your permissions system doesn't allow I/O, is there really a lot that your program can do?
- da_chicken 8y agoYou don't even need networking. If you can create a temp file, you can probably get the creation or modified time on the file.
- monocasa 8y agoHell, you can make a passable timer for these purposes as long as you have two threads. No need to leave your process.
