019 - It's Still Not Magic

This week, Holly Graceful (@HollyGraceful, gracefulsecurity.com) joined us to talk about her recent hardware reverse engineering blog series and her pen(etration) testing and security career in both public and private sectors. She tells us about how she entered the field via the military and some of those differences. We discussed breaking down projects into smaller bites. We talk about why getting access to the JTAG (use it for...) port can be super easy in the consumer product and it may be more calculated than expected. The series ends with some key fob fun. We do a minor round up of software defined radio and the USRP used with gnuradio. We catch up on what Alvaro is doing with his SDRs. Holly is working on more posts so stay follow to be updated with the latest.

011 - Making Too Many Assumptions

This week Mike Ryan (@mpeg4codec) joins us to talk about how he went from hacking games for stronger characters (we don't reveal which ones; you'll have to listen) to revealing big weaknesses in Bluetooth products. Mike gives us the rundown on how he ended up working on UbertOOth , using wireshark, and how many UbertEEth you should use. We discuss some of the biggest mistakes developers make in their Bluetooth and BLE products. He shares some examples of this through his prior work including credit cards and skateboards. We also learn about CVEs including the one Mike has for the Skateboard. If after this, you are worried that your next IoT product needs a security review or at least getting started with Ubertooth, you can go to the Ubertooth , CrackLE and wireshark sites. If you want some serious hands on, you can contact Mike here. A few more tools came up to add to your list: Apk tool Hci tool (1) (tutorial) Perl Jar signer Gattool Smali - https://github.com/JesusFreke/smali Inspectrum NOTE: Sorry about the rough audio, we had some technical difficulties that we resolved about 15 min in.

010 - T0015! Part 0x3 - Debug Interfaces

This week we talk about the nebulous world of debugging interfaces, some of their history, and how they can be used in reverse engineering. We cover the basics of what are JTAG and SWD ( both ARM Debug Access Port (DAP) and ARM® Debug Interface Architecture Specification) and can they both be used to debug a MIPS processor (the answer is NO!). We list a few other standards but also some key vendors and projects to get you debugging and controlling your next system: Segger J-Link/J-Trace (generally the most flexible) BlackMagicProbe ST-Link BusBlaster JTAGulator Cypress Miniprog3 Microchips supports both AVR and Microchip parts for debug. Since a few of these are from the OSHW/OSSW world, we briefly discuss the impact of this work on driving down costs and opening up the field to more people. As always, we might have missed your favorite tool or you had questions and comments about our list, find us on twitter @unnamed_show, or email us at [email protected] and tell us.

007 - Candy Coated

M. Carlton joined us to talk about being part of leading professional reverse engineering team at Senr.io. We discussed her Embedded Systems talk about IoT and in particular Devil's Ivy (Check out the important ROP video to better understand the key concept ). In this particular case, they found that the M300 camera model using GSOAP (SOAP) parse for buffer overflow. Not only did this issue allow spread quickly as a DOS among the M300 cameras but over 200 other Axis cameras (Hurray for code-reuse) due to using the third party code library. M. uses several tools in her work: IDA Pro Binwalk Nmap Debuggers like gdb Multimeters and oscilloscopes VMWare She had some excellent suggestions for improving the odds of NOT getting hacked: Put a password on any consoles and let it be changeable. Anticipate issues by performing security reviews. Be wary of any third party libraries you use. If there are updates to these libraries, prepare to update quickly. Make sure your systems are field patchable/updateable, securely. Limit surface area. Limit the ability for others to analyze your system by removing/disabling consoles, UARTs, features, and JTAG interfaces. Put more gates/obstacles on how easily any found exploits can be used in the system. Unearth any default credentials used in your system and resolve. In the worse case, plan in advance for a security breach to expedite deployment. Have comments or suggestion names for us? Find us on twitter @unnamed_show, or email us at [email protected].

005 - Circuits That Go Nowhere

This week we were joined by the incredible IC reverse engineer, Ken Shirriff. You may know him from his Hack A Day Super Conference talk in 2016 or his blog's many posts (Counterfeit chips, ARM 1 chip, and Sinclair Calculator). We covered quite a number of restorations (Visual6502 project, 8008 microprocessor - Ken's restoration details) He is currently working the Xerox Alto Restoration and we talked not only about the hardware but the microcode and software restoration. Software languages we touched on were the C predecessor, BCPL and object oriented language Smalltalk. There are number of resources out there restoring and archiving computing history: Computer History Museum has some of the mylar chip mask from the old process we discussed. Living Computer Museum in Seattle has also collaborated and done some impressive work. Siliconpr0n is John McMaster's site for IC reverse engineering and more. http://www.bitsavers.org - Living archive for schematics, software, etc… on any number of electronics items. Resources for getting started with analog circuits at transistor level: "Microelectronics Circuits" Sedra and Smith (covers all your favorite circuits like current mirroring) Start with die photos… analyzing is much smaller and easier When finally working hands on cheap acids for consumer hobbyists (aka glass etchers) also work on ICs to remove layers LTSpice (circuit simulator and product that gives Jen college-aged anxiety) HackaDay Superconference coming up. Everyone on the show (here and here) have spoke at this conference. Ken and Alvaro will be there! Have comments or suggested names for the show?

004 - 0x0FF the Rails

We spoke with Micah Scott (@scanlime), the original inspiration for this podcast. She gave us a rundown of her past and current projects which run the gamut of consumer toys, art installations, and telling a story through technology exploration. Her past projects include coastemelt, Wacom tablet, and Fadecandy. We also talked about her challenges on Sifteo with limited architectures and resources. We tackled some basic computer architecture types. The latest project is Winchbot where viewers can watch Tuco and the other kitties. Micah broke down reverse engineering the gimbal motors with Sigrok. We swapped favorite tools (ipython) and Jen lost a bet.
