Emulating & Exploiting UEFI: Unveiling Vulnerabilities in Firmware Security

Turning a limited write primitive in EDK II's Tcg2Smm module into SMM code execution — the flaw only lives before the end of the DXE phase, so it chains into pre-boot privilege escalation.

Rust improves memory safety in embedded systems, eliminating entire vulnerability classes, but logic, hardware, and cryptographic flaws still demand rigorous security testing.

RayV Lite's creators explain low-cost laser fault injection: consumer green laser pointers leak 1064 nm infrared, and lower-power lasers trigger faults via longer exposure and clock-cycle alignment.

This guide covers practical chip decapsulation methods for home and amateur labs, including technique selection by packaging type without acid equipment, democratizing silicon-level reverse engineering.

The final installment of the thick client series covers memory analysis: dumping a process from Task Manager, extracting strings, and why sensitive data should use mutable types that can be wiped.

Thick client series part five covers API monitoring and invocation: API Monitor logs over 500,000 calls during login, and .NET SmokeTest lets testers load assemblies and run individual methods.
