By HardcoreMatrix The HardcoreMatrix team specializes in firmware and infrastructure security, supply chain security, and threat modeling. We vividly illustrate the severe consequences that underlying threats pose to enterprise and personal information security. One “Leak” can rule them all! In March 2023, Micro-Star International (MSI) suffered a significant attack orchestrated by the Money Message ransomware group. Unfortunately, this is not just another random leak. The aftermath revealed a leak of internal data, including highly sensitive information such as the BootGuard private key.

Assuming that you’re a hardware hacker with full passionate about to making the new product and you dont want to build your own factory by tweaking around the soldering workbench or PnP psychopunk machine. It’s likely you’re end up somewhere( Asia: Shenzhen/Hongkong/Vietnam/etc, EU: Estonia/Germany/Sweden/etc, Americas: New Jersey/Mexico City/etc) to fit your need due to the trend of regional supply chain. You may encounter some problems no matter how the supply chain was formed.

OpenTitan is the first open source project building a transparent, high-quality reference design and integration guidelines for silicon root of trust (RoT) chips. Yosys is a free/libre and open source framework for RTL synthesis tools. It currently has extensive Verilog-2005 support and provides a basic set of synthesis algorithms for various application domains. OpenTitan is a systemverilog project, but currently yosys only supports a small subset of systemverilog. So we need sv2v to convert the source code to verilog.

Exploit use-after-free bugs in dedicated cache This is just a demonstration. HOWTO free the target object spray and eat all available memory, take high memory usage, hope to have the freed object poisoned trigger the use-after-free NOTICE For each cache, the Slab allocator keeps three doubly-linked lists of slabs: full slabs: all objects of a slab are used (i.e. allocated) free slabs: all objects of a slab are free (i.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. — Ephesians 6:12 Original art design - The Fellowship of Libre firmware: Hunting the Shadow 最初の章：預言者の到来 Since the birth of the technology deity, the free software/firmware/hardware community has faced numerous adversaries, and Intel ME (Management Engine) stands as one of the most clandestine enemies.
