How to bypass Secure Boot in Renesas BLE SoC for industrial and medical devices, and become a cruise captain! 🔵🦷🔒🔨💥

Security researcher Chris Bellows shares his research on the BootROM of Renesas’ DA1469x BLE family of chips. From datasheet analysis and understanding the internal architecture to research methodology and exploitation techniques, you’ll find all the details in the paper below.

The DA1469x is relatively inexpensive, has low power consumption, and includes almost all of the most popular security features, so I’m convinced that this research is already part of the risk evaluation for many off‑the‑shelf industrial, medical, and automotive products. What about yours?

And yes, this research will give you a clear path to become a crew member of Princess Cruise Line - maybe even a captain! 👨‍✈

Enjoy the read, and please use this information responsibly - don’t get yourself into trouble.
