TEXPLAINED TRAININGS AT CONFERENCES:

3-days – Unlocking the Secrets Within ROMs: 

Hardwear.io – Amsterdam, The Netherlands – 21st to 23rd October 2024

TEXPLAINED TRAININGS AT YOUR PREMISES / ONLINE / IN OUR LAB

=> 2 to 5-days – IC RE and Data Extraction

Learn how to:

• • Recover ICs internal architectures
  • Evaluate the efficiency of existing countermeasures
  • Extract NVMs contents (ROM & Flash), in order to analyze and evaluate the security of the embedded firmware, and extract secret informations

=> 3-days – Unlocking the Secrets within ROMs

Discover how to:

• • Identify ROMs on pictures of an Integrated Circuit
  • Understand the building blocs of a ROM
  • Identify the ROM type
  • Extract a raw binary from pictures using simple scripts
  • Reverse-engineer standard cells and semi-custom cells
  • Reverse-engineer control logic, row and column decoders to find out about internal scrambling
  • Convert the raw binary to binary candidates using most common scrambling schemes
  • Get the binary of ROMs
  • Strengthen ROM designs

=> 4-days – Hands-On Training (including 2 days in our IC RE Lab!)

See how to:

• • Find out how to perform low-level hardware reverse engineering
  • Develop analysis strategies for the target devices and apply these strategies to recover their embedded data
  • Get to know the laboratory techniques used for netlist reconstruction and data extraction from secure ICs

CUSTOMIZE YOUR TRAINING

IC REVERSE ENGINEERING & CODE DUMP     //     From 2- to 5-DAYS SESSION

Modulate your session by assembling all or some of the following topics:

• Theory: introduction on digital electronics and deprocessing techniques
• Lab: Depackaging / Deprocessing / Imagery
• ChipJuice: Image processing and Netlist Extraction
• Theory : IC Reverse Engineering and attacks techniques

“The primary goal of this training is to provide Digital Forensics & Security Professionals as well as Government Services the skills, mindset and background information necessary to successfully:

• Recover ICs internal architectures
• Evaluate the efficiency of existing countermeasures
• Extract NVMs contents (ROM & Flash), in order to analyze and evaluate the security of the embedded firmware, and extract secret informations

The Students will be shown how such informations can be used to define easier methods to find / exploit firmware + hardware weaknesses for vulnerability analysis as well as for embedded evidence extraction purposes.

The primary goal of our trainings is to provide security professionals and team leaders the skills, mindset and background information necessary to successfully perform the reverse engineering of Integrated Circuits (ICs), circumvent their hardware countermeasures and extract the data from them (Hardware and Firmware).

It is designed to give to Integrated Circuit professionals a deep understanding of the complete Reverse-Engineering and Attack chain to help them better understand the hardware and the way it is protected, but also to discover how to exploit the intrinsic weaknesses in order to recover fundamental data like Netlists and NVMs’ binaries in clear.

Students who complete this course become familiar with all important classes of low-level hardware attacks (shield and hardware counter-measures bypass – ROM and Flash/EEPROM dump – bus passive and active probing – …) through real world examples covering the entire analysis workflow from the lab to the data analysis.

The training describes modern analysis methods involving automation and discuss the efficiency of modern counter-measures in such a context.
