Tired of spending sleepless nights hunched over a workbench, prodding circuit boards with multimeters and squinting at hex dumps until your eyes bleed? Those days are behind you! We’re giving hardware reverse engineering a robotic makeover: it’s much more satisfying to probe when you’re not doing it by hand.
We’ve built a human-on-the-loop hardware reverse engineering robot that pokes, prods, and interrogates embedded devices with the relentless enthusiasm of a caffeinated security researcher. Our robot doesn’t need coffee breaks, doesn’t get tired or frustrated; it just keeps doing its thing, transforming the bespoke (read: painfully slow) process of hardware RE into an automated, scalable operation. The robot can interrogate gadgets to reveal their deepest, darkest secrets: scanning PCBs, identifying components, and extracting firmware, all with mechanical precision.
We’ll conduct a live demonstration of how this works and discuss how we’re utilizing it to enhance our hardware hacking capabilities.
