🎉 openFPGALoader v1.0.0 is out!
Major highlights:
• Complete spiOverJtag rework for Xilinx(complex chains)
• New Sponsors/Partners section
• AlteraFPGA MAX10
• Lattice ECP3 + ECP5's SSPI
• EspressifSystem ESP32-S3 as JTAG

Thanks to all!

i reverse-engineered the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5! check it out at github.com/schlae/cm5-r...

Part 2 of my SCA journey is now live: I demonstrate a successful CPA attack on an unmodified device during AES key unwrap.

For the past while J-P at @newae.com has been working on a major #ChipWhisperer doc refactor - this is now live, check out chipwhisperer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/in... . It moves software, hardware, and even some tricks/tips all into once place using Jupyter Books. Huge improvement in usability!

OK, it's official on the website now: KiCad 9 is out!

Ghidra 11.3 is OUT!


PyGhidra is the new feature to be excited about.

It’s a Python library providing direct access to the Ghidra API. 



I expect this to massively increase Reverse Engineering tool development, as it significantly reduces the barrier to entry for Ghidra interaction.

What's this? Oh, nothing much. Just KICAD VERSION 9RC2 dropped! We are only a couple weeks away from the final release. Test out the nightly builds now and see if you can find any showstoppers that we can fix before that happens.

I've been diving into electromagnetic (EM) side-channel attacks with Correlation Power Analysis (CPA) these past few weeks and just published a blog article about my journey: collshade.fr/articles/cpa...

My videos for Flare-On 2024 are live! Watch me reverse engineer all the challenges from start to end. 🎉🥳

+ Commentary video featuring SuperFashi, where we review the chals together.

Intel launched the Pentium processor in 1993. Unfortunately, dividing sometimes gave a slightly wrong answer, the famous FDIV bug. Replacing the faulty chips cost Intel $475 million. I reverse-engineered the circuitry and can explain the bug. 1/9

I understand why people need HPC to work on side channel. It took me hours to get this convergence plot. It's ONE byte and only 10000 traces...

KiCad is proud to announce the release of 8.0.7

We have lots of bug fixes and speed improvements in this release, so upgrading is highly recommended!

Hello AES!

I didn't know that italic could be a variant for part numbers 🤨
