It's really worth noting that ECC does impact Rowhammer effectiveness, even if it is not enough to prevent the attack 100% of the time.

- GekkePrutser 5y agoBut as part of this it'll also have a high chance of triggering a system shutdown due to ECC mismatch, right? So in most cases it can't be exploited for things other than DoS.
- staticassertion 5y agoECC won't necessarily shut the system down as it can actually repair single bit errors, and mismatches can be monitored for as well. But your point stands - for an attacker to do damage they'll likely end up flipping bits in unintended ways first.
