Most modern microcontrollers incorporate security features intended to prevent firmware extraction and make reverse engineering more difficult. These features vary widely in effectiveness and some can be defeated in a matter of hours at minimal cost. During this talk and live demo, Dr. Andrew Zonenberg will describe a known, low-cost attack against a popular microcontroller family. He will also discuss countermeasures from both the silicon and board designer’s perspective.
Andrew Zonenberg
Dr. Andrew Zonenberg is a senior security consultant at IOActive and works in the company’s hardware lab researching Integrated Circuit (IC) security, IC reverse engineering, and embedded/hardware security.
Andrew received a PhD in computer science from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute earlier this year, where his studies focused on System on Chip (SoC) and Operating System security. During this time, he designed and taught a one-semester course on hardware reverse engineering. He is an active contributor to siliconpr0n.org. He also holds a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Rensselaer.
About S4x16
S4 is the premier technical ICS security conference. It is the one place where you can present in technical depth and don’t need to explain SCADASEC 101. The attendees represent the top researchers and thought leaders from the around the world. They will understand and appreciate your work. S4 is also the place where your research will get noticed. We invite a select set of press that cover the ICS security beat and are widely read. In the last two years we have had the NY Times, Washington Post, Wired, Dark Reading, ThreatPost, 60 Minutes and other important press and cover S4 research in detail.
