Firmware Hacking With Ghidra
Dive into the world of firmware hacking with this comprehensive virtual lab session from the Hack In The Box Security Conference. Learn bare-metal reverse engineering using Ghidra, focusing on ARM Cortex-M architecture. Analyze simple crackmes, explore useful scripts and tools, and master efficient firmware navigation techniques. Examine the BootROM of a popular microcontroller series to identify potential attack vectors for low-level hardware exploits. Then, transition to practical glitching techniques, including preparing ARM microcontrollers for attacks, wiring circuits to induce faults, and programming FPGAs for real-time system boot control. Watch live soldering demonstrations and engage in interactive Q&A sessions. Gain insights from experts Thomas Roth, known for his embedded device and processor attacks, and Dmitry Nedospasov, a seasoned hardware hacker and security researcher with a PhD in IC security.
