Congratulations on completing this mini-module. We've successfully traversed a range of topics, from Bluetooth hacking and cryptanalysis side-channel attacks to microprocessor vulnerabilities. We've explored the historical and contemporary facets of Bluetooth attacks, gaining insights into attacks such as Bluesnarfing, Bluejacking, BlueSmacking, Bluebugging, BlueBorne, KNOB, and BIAS. This understanding equips us with the knowledge to identify and defend against such threats. In our exploration of cryptanalysis side-channel attacks, we've unveiled the principles of cryptanalysis and learned about various side-channel attacks like timing attacks, power-monitoring attacks, and acoustic cryptanalysis. This knowledge is essential for understanding the potential threats in cryptographic systems that go far beyond their software implementation. Lastly, we examined the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities and gained insights into the mechanisms that enabled them and how to mitigate them.

In this advanced guide to hardware hacking, you'll learn how to read the software out of single chip computers, especially when they are configured not to allow the firmware to be extracted. This book documents a very wide variety of microchip hacking techniques; it's not a beginner's first introduction. You'll start off by exploring detailed techniques for hacking real-world chips, such as how the STM32F0 allows for one word to be dumped after every reset. You'll see how the STM32F1’s exception handling can slowly leak the firmware out over an hour, and how the Texas Instruments MSP430 firmware can be extracted by a camera flash. For each exploit, you'll learn how to reproduce the results, dumping a chip in your own lab. In the second half of the book, you'll find an encyclopedic survey of vulnerabilities, indexed and cross referenced for use in practicing hardware security.

Introducing Lumos Macro Stats Since the release of Lumos, we've received numerous requests from hacked victims, security researchers, projects, and students for charts showing statistics of hacking incidents by category. Now, anyone, regardless of their engineering background, can access a customizable chart containing the following information: → Total exploited value and incident count → Attack vector → Destination of exploited funds → Estimated value of DPRK-linked hacks Our goal is simple: to shed light on the shadows of Web3 hacks by providing transparent information on prevalent security incidents involving both smart contracts and project teams. $1.7B was lost to hacks in 2023. They can't keep getting away with this. Access Lumos: https://lnkd.in/gYUe2GFx

Fatah IIX, one of the MCC alumni recently conducted a workshop titled "Reverse Engineering and Binary Exploitation: Intel x86/x86-x64 Assembly" ☠ His objective is to improve his understanding of binary exploitation while studying the Assembly language. The workshop was delivered in three parts which have been uploaded here: Part 1 : https://lnkd.in/gKFzBaxJ Part 2 : https://lnkd.in/g7sby_Dk Part 3 : https://lnkd.in/gHnQMYmC The slides can be downloaded from here https://lnkd.in/gPxTQmje #rehackxyz #cybersecurity #mcc #cybercamp #reverseengineering #assembly

Some Hacking Tools; •Elcomsoft Phone Password Breaker, or EPPB. •iBrute is a password-hacking mechanism specifically designed for acquiring iCloud credentials from just about anyone. •oclHashcat (a password-cracking tool that leverages graphics processing units—or GPUs—for high-speed cracking) from possibly cracking your password, but it will make the process slow enough to encourage an attacker to move on to an easier target. lets Eat!🤓
