Fault injection attacks on microcontrollers: everything you need to know and more. 👨🏽‍🏭📟⚡☠️📤

Security researchers and hardware security experts Cristofaro Mune and Niek Timmers share a small part of their knowledge in a 98-page presentation about different types of fault injection attacks on hardware components.

From the physics behind the phenomena to key architectural concepts, code examples, and real-world setups for fault-injection attacks - this is your one-stop shop for answers to “how-to” and “what-if” questions.

Consider saving it for future reference - I’m pretty sure you’ll need it again. Please share it with your colleagues and friends who are into hardware cybersecurity (both defense and offense). Thank you!
