Hacks and Attacks: Examples of Electronic Device Compromise Embedded Systems Conference Silicon Valley 2010 (ESC-343)

摘要

Bolstered by the flourishing hobbyist electronics and do-it-yourself movements, easy access to equipment, and nearly realtime information sharing courtesy of the Internet, hardware devices have become a target for both harmless, curious hackers and malicious attackers. Many devices are inherently trusted and taken for granted, though they are actually susceptible to compromise leading to potential financial, social, or legal implications. As engineers, we have a responsibility to learn from problems of the past and anticipate new ones in order to better equip ourselves for designs of the future. This paper will present a typical hardware hacking process and explore a few real-world attacks against electronic devices.
