01 / Overview

Below the OS. Into the silicon.

When trust boundaries live in silicon, you need a team that works below the OS. We operate in-house hardware labs with tools for die-level analysis, bus probing, side-channel capture, and fault injection — with reviewers who have shipped real exploits against real production devices.

Engagements run from a single secure-boot bypass to a full product assessment spanning silicon through firmware.

02 / Attack Layers

From the silicon up.

01
Silicon & SoC

Die-level analysis, microprobing preparation, bus snooping on JTAG, SWD, SPI, I²C, UART, and PCIe — including debug interface discovery and re-enablement.

02
Boot Chain

Root-of-trust, secure boot, measured boot, fuse state, one-time programmables, and recovery-mode abuse paths.

03
Firmware & Bootloader

Binary extraction, decompilation, symbol recovery, code-signing bypass, and exploitation of memory-corruption bugs in C / C++ firmware.

04
Side-Channel Analysis

Power analysis (SPA / DPA / CPA), EM analysis, and timing side channels against crypto primitives and secure elements.

05
Fault Injection

Voltage / clock glitching, EMFI, and laser fault injection to bypass secure-boot checks, extract keys, and escape TEEs.

06
Supply Chain & Tamper

Counterfeit detection, tamper-evidence evaluation, and implant / interdiction risk analysis for critical assets.

03 / Methodology

Teardown. Extract. Attack. Verify.

01

Physical Teardown

Non-destructive and destructive teardown, component identification, PCB reverse engineering, and interface mapping.

02

Interface & Firmware

Debug-port exploitation, firmware extraction, and static + dynamic analysis on the extracted binary.

03

Active Attack

Side-channel measurement, fault-injection campaigns, and chained exploitation against boot, crypto, and TEE boundaries.

04

Reporting & Retest

Defensible findings with photographs, traces, captures, and reproducible harness — plus verified retest after mitigations.
