Unfortunately, huge memory size, computational cost and bandwidth requirements limit its practic... » read more

Glitched On Earth By Humans


The Black Hat conference always brings up interesting and current research within the device security industry. Lennert Wouters of COSIC studied the security of the Starlink User Terminal. After some PCB-level reverse engineering, he found a serial port and observed various boot loaders, U-boot, and Linux running on the device. However, there was no obvious way to gain further access. The... » read more
