IOActive HACK::SOHO London is back! Our first post-pandemic event; hacking, security research presentations and discussions for the London community.
In this presentation Tony Moor goes over silicon hacking / hardware reverse engineering.
The changes in hacker’s techniques as well as their tools as security has improved along with the natural shrinking of semiconductor devices continues (Moore’s Law).
From a basic setup costing thousands of pounds in the 90’s, a potential attacker may now need significant financial backing, certainly in the range of hundreds of thousands of pounds. That and the need to learn complex scientific techniques such as SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) and FIB (Focused Ion Beam).
