Designing a Hardware Reverse Engineering Course: Lessons from Eight Years in a Rapidly Evolving Tech Domain
arXiv:2606.03697v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Integrated Circuits (ICs) are omnipresent, yet their globalized manufacturing process remains vulnerable to supply chain threats. Hardware Reverse Engineering (HRE) is essential for detecting such threats and re-establishing trust; however domain experts remain scarce due to a lack of educational programs. To contribute educational insights in this critical and rapidly evolving technology domain, we present our HRE course focusing on digital...
CRESS: Quantifying Vulnerabilities of Attack Scenarios in Hardware Reverse Engineering
arXiv:2606.05459v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The safety, security, and reliability of microelectronic systems depend on a trustworthy, secured supply chain and design flow. Globally distributed supply chains or unintentional design weaknesses leave the door open for attacks on the hardware level. These scenarios encompass counterfeiting, hardware trojans, or on-device attacks.
Full Reverse Engineering of the TI-84 Plus Operating System
TI-84 Plus OS — Reverse-engineering notes: system overview Target: ti84plus.rom (1 MiB flash dump). OS self-identifies as 2.55MP. CPU: Zilog Z80 (16-bit address bus, 64 KiB logical space) with hardware flash/RAM paging.
Porting the ThinkPad X61 to Coreboot
Porting the ThinkPad x61 to coreboot Table of Contents An introduction to my IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad addiction Over 10 years ago I got my first ThinkPad x60. I got interested in free software by reading the about GNU page in the GNU Emacs editor. Free software back then and certainly now is quite usable, typically without much closed-source software.
Microcode inside the Intel 8087 floating-point chip: register exchange
In 1980, Intel introduced the 8087 floating-point chip, a co-processor that made floating-point operations up to 100 times faster. This chip was highly influential, and today most processors use the floating-point standard introduced by the 8087. The 8087 uses complicated algorithms to accurately compute functions such as square roots, tangents, and exponentials.
The Smart TV in Your LivingRoom Is a Node in the AIScraping Economy
The work at Include Security has us working with AI day in and day out (hacking it, using it, training it, etc). We’re all aware of the community-level opposition happening against datacenters, aimed at improving AI capabilities, being built recently. What you might not be aware of are the distributed efforts to train AI that could be using the devices inside your home.
Eagle Computer: The rise and fall of an early PC clone
When it comes to 80s computer brands, few flew as high as Eagle Computer flew in 1983. The aptly named company was selling 12,000 computers a month and had been doubling sales every quarter under the leadership of a talented CEO. Then Eagle lost its CEO, Dennis Barnhart, in a crashed Ferrari on the day of its IPO, June 8, 1983.
Recovering Eric Graham's 1987 Amiga Juggler raytracer source code
Recovering Eric Graham's 1987 Juggler raytracer source code AlphaPixel often gets involved with modernizing and updating old performance and graphics code. Sometimes that means client work under NDA. But sometimes it means a fun side quest in the mystical realms of curiosity, preservation, and the practical problem of getting old data into a form that can be read and used on a current machine.
Human-Like Neural Nets by Catapulting
Human-like Neural Nets by Catapulting Speculative proposal to create artificial neural nets with human-like performance by high-learning-rate/regularization training of overparameterized NNs to trigger catapulting/grokking. Over-parameterization as a route to true generalization would resolve many outstanding mysteries of artificial versus natural intelligence. There are many mysteries about deep learning and human intelligence, but we could describe the biggest anomaly this way: why are...
Ahoy, DECmate II the little PDP-8 that could
Now, that's a lot of word processing. But under the hood it's still at least PDP-8 adjacent, even considering its oddities and incompatibilities, and you can make it do many of the things a full-size Eight can. We'll take this basic unit, convert the floppy drives to solid state, tap the video output, and put it through its paces.
