  • Another Chinese backdoor that isn’t

    On Thursday (Oct 4 2018) Bloomberg claims to have been informed of widespread modifications of server hardware made by Super Micro, a company that manufacturers their hardware in China.

    Update2: Apple responded to a request for clarification in a rather noncommittal manner. Until they clarify or until I have a chance to test the attack I would assume it effects the current iPhone 6 hardware and possibly the to-be-released iPhone 7 hardware as well.

  • Speaking at REcon in Montreal, Jul 8-10

    Update: video online (src). From a talk on hardware embedded analysis at REcon on the 10th of July.
