Opening Closed Systems with GlitchKit

Opening Closed Systems with GlitchKit

Systems that hide their firmware–often deep in readout-protected flash or hidden in encrypted ROM chips–have long stymied reverse engineers, who often have to resort to inventive methods to understand closed systems. To help reduce the effort needed to get a foothold into a new system, we present GlitchKit–an open source hardware and firmware solution that significantly simplifies the process of fault-injecting your way into a new system–and of fault-injecting firmware secrets out! This talk presents the development completed thus far, demonstrates the use of GlitchKit in simple attacks, and invites participation in the development of our open-source tools.
