Title: How an hardware is actually vulnerable to exploitation? Post by: manoj9372 on September 30, 2010, 11:11:36 AM I am just new to these hardware hacking field,
I am just wondering about this field,How actually an hardware is subjected to exploitation? In software we have incorrect handling of input in the source,so we get some buffer overflows and things,but i don't know what bug's actually present inside the hardware for exploitation? Also can a hardware exploit can get us remote code execution? Need a bit of explanation to make my self-clear... hope i will get some...

Post by: dante on September 30, 2010, 01:49:02 PM Normally hardware hacking boils down to exploiting firmware, code embedded in chips etc...
I have not seen messing with the hardware resulting in a vulnerable state until I read about geohot's glitching the memory bus hack... Though geohot's work was significant, in the end it was a heap overflow that opened the iron gates of PS3... http://ps3wiki.lan.st/index.php/PSJailbreak_Exploit_Reverse_Engineering Title: Re: How an hardware is actually vulnerable to exploitation?

Check out the CanSecWest 2010 presentation at http://www.alchemistowl.org/arrigo/Papers/Arrigo-Triulzi-CANSEC10-Project-Maux-III.pdf (http://www.alchemistowl.org/arrigo/Papers/Arrigo-Triulzi-CANSEC10-Project-Maux-III.pdf)
