Abstract
The super-cool area of side-channel power analysis and glitching attacks are devious methods of breaking embedded devices. Recent presentations (such as at RECON 2014) have shown that these attacks are possible even with lower-cost hardware, but it still requires a fair amount of hardware setup and experimentation. But we can do better. This presentation sums up the most recent advances in the open-source ChipWhisperer project, which aims to bring side channel power analysis and fault injections into a wider realm than ever before. It provides an open-source base for experimentation in this field. The ChipWhisperer project won 2nd place in the Hackaday Prize in 2014, and in 2015 an even lower-cost version of the hardware was released, costing approximately $200. Attacks on real physical devices is demonstrated including AES peripherals in microcontrollers, Raspberry Pi devices, and more. All of the attacks can be replicated with standard lab equipment – the demos here will use the open-source ChipWhisperer hardware, but it’s not required for your experimentation.
