Pew Pew, Precisely: The Physics and Practices Behind RayV Lite

RayV Lite is NetSPI's open-source, low-cost laser fault injection platform debuted at Black Hat 2024, showing laser-based chip attacks are now within reach of researchers, not just nation-states.

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.

Radically reduces Android reverse-engineering overhead from tens of minutes and gigabytes of memory to milliseconds and megabytes, providing an ideal, stateless code analysis primitive for autonomous security agents and vulnerability researchers.

Offers a clean, organized reference architecture and automated tool-bootstrap script for CTF competitors, penetration testers, and security researchers.

Using the Qiling framework to emulate a UEFI PNG decoder, researchers found a buffer over-read from spoofed IDAT chunk lengths, a LogoFail-adjacent flaw leaking data during boot.

The FCC added foreign-made consumer routers to its Covered List over backdoor concerns: new models need Conditional Approval while a waiver protects existing devices until March 1, 2027.
