063 - I Read Online That It's Impossible

Unnamed Reverse Engineering Podcast · 26 Mar 2023 · 1h 15m · Episode 63

What this episode covers

Security researcher Thomas Roth (@stacksmashing) discusses his hardware hacking projects, including dumping the Apple AirTag firmware via fault injection on an NRF52 microcontroller and building the open-source 'Tamarin' cable to enable JTAG debugging on iPhones. He details the complex reverse engineering of the Apple Lightning protocol, the challenges of implementing a custom SWD stack on a Raspberry Pi Pico, and his work enabling multiplayer Tetris on a physical Game Boy using WebUSB. Roth also shares insights on his career, favorite tools like Ghidra and the RP2040, and the accessibility of modern fault injection techniques.

    Ep 311: AirTag Hack, GPS Rollover, and a Flat-Pack Toaster

    Hosts Elliot Williams and Tom Nardi discuss David Cuartielles, co-founder of Arduino, who will keynote Hackaday Europe on compostable electronics. They analyze a research paper on hijacking Apple AirTag infrastructure by exploiting weak Bluetooth Low Energy address randomization, and detail how a flat-pack toaster by Casey Ho prioritizes repairability and user assembly over aesthetics. The episode also covers a GPS week-number rollover workaround using an RP2040, a fiber-optic display mapped via computer vision, and a review of hardware presence at FOSDEM 2025.

    New Life Skills with Joe Grand

    Joe Grand, a hardware hacker and engineer, discusses his recent work reverse engineering a Trezor cryptocurrency wallet to recover $2M, detailing the fault injection and glitching techniques used to extract private keys from STM32 microcontrollers. He reflects on his career, including the design of the JTAGulator and DEF CON badges, and explains how burnout and the pandemic led him to prioritize mental health, meditation, and selective, fun projects like the Pizza Compass. Grand emphasizes the importance of open-source security tools in helping engineers build more secure products and advocates for a community-focused approach to hardware hacking.
