exide: Glitching For n00bs

exide explains how to use electrical transients and voltage glitching to induce faults in integrated circuits for reverse engineering.

media.ccc.de/browse/congress/2014/31c3_-_6499_-_en_-_saal_2_… Despite claims of its obsolescence, electrical glitching can be a viable attack vector against some ICs. This presentation chronicles a quest to learn what types of electrical transients can be introduced into an integrated circuit to cause a variety of circuit faults advantageous to an reverser. Several hardware platforms were constructed during the quest to aid in research, including old-skool & solderless breadboards, photo-etched & professional PCBs, FPGAs, and cheap & dirty homemade logic analyzers. The strengths and weaknesses of the various approaches will be discussed. exide Help us caption & translate this video! amara.org/v/FuHQ/
