Like in years past (nearly) the whole team met in Ghent for the unofficial second team event: the BruCON . Next to trainings, talks and workshops the main focus was to have fun together. Therefore, the majority of the team – not all since the team has grown significantly over the last year – stayed at the band resort: a complete apartment in a prime location with lots of space, a beer fridge and a bar. In short: a perfect starting point for evening trips, of which more later.
For the second year SCHUTZWERK was a sponsor of the hardwear.io conference in Den Haag. This year, we attended the conference with 3 employees focused on hardware and embedded security.
One of our hardware specialists, Heiko Ehret, learned how to reverse engineer a microchip in the training ICreverseengineering101 from Tuesday to Wednesday. In this training the principles of gaining access to the DIE of a chip were presented and in the practical part for example photos, which were taken with a scanning electron microscope (SEM), were analyzed to extract the computational structure as well as reading out the contents of the memories. Using these methods, you can analyze the chip for possible vulnerabilities. With this knowledge, intrusive attacks like microprobing, ion-beam or laser fault injection were planned against the target to gain control of the IC and extract information.
