Firmware Reverse Engineering – Attackers Extract Secrets from IoT Devices

Introduction The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized industries by enabling smart devices to communicate, collect data, and automate processes. However, the rapid growth of IoT has also introduced significant security risks. One of the most concerning threats is firmware reverse engineering, where attackers dissect a device’s firmware to extract sensitive information, exploit vulnerabilities, or create

Power Analysis Attacks – Extracting Secrets via Power Consumption Patterns

Introduction In the world of cybersecurity, some of the most sophisticated attacks don’t target software vulnerabilities—they exploit physical hardware weaknesses. One such attack is Power Analysis, where attackers extract cryptographic keys and sensitive data by analyzing a device’s power consumption patterns. Unlike traditional hacking methods, power analysis requires no malware or network intrusion—just access to the target device’s
