🔦 🚀 Laser Hacking is Now Viable for Everyone🚀🔦 At the upcoming Black Hat cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas, Samantha Isabelle Beaumont Beaumont and Larry Trowell from NetSPI are set to unveil a groundbreaking laser hacking device named the RayV Lite. See their Black Hat info here: https://lnkd.in/gyTynYEG. This innovative tool promises to democratize laser-based chip exploitation, making advanced techniques like laser fault injection and laser logic state imaging accessible to more hardware hackers than ever before. 🌟 Key Highlights: +Affordable Innovation: The RayV Lite costs under $500, significantly lower than the $150,000 price tag of state-of-the-art commercial tools. +Open Source & DIY: By leveraging 3D printing and commodity components, Beaumont and Trowell aim to empower DIY hackers and researchers with open-source designs. +Advanced Techniques: The RayV Lite enables users to reverse engineer chips, trigger vulnerabilities, and expose secrets, all with precise laser targeting. +Industry Impact: This tool challenges the misconception that laser-based chip hacking is impractical or too costly, urging manufacturers to enhance their security measures. With the RayV Lite, the realm of hardware hacking becomes more inclusive and inventive, bridging the gap between academic research and practical, at-home experimentation. This is a significant step towards the "domestication of tooling," ensuring that critical infrastructure and consumer devices are better protected against emerging threats.

🚀 Dismantling UWBAD: A practical attack on cybersecurity 🚀 🗒 Introduction to UWBAD A team of skilled researchers based out of China has unveiled a novel approach called UWBAD, targeting Ultra-Wideband (UWB) ranging systems. This method, detailed in their recent publication, uses Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) UWB chips to launch imperceptible jamming attacks, disrupting critical applications like vehicle security systems and mobile device tracking. ➕ Mathematical Foundations The attack exploits vulnerabilities in the normalized cross-correlation (NCC) process essential for UWB systems. By synchronizing jamming signals with legitimate signals, UWBAD manipulates the NCC calculations. This interference reduces the correlation value below the system's threshold, causing the system to discard the data, leading to erroneous or halted distance measurements. 👨🔬 Implications and Conclusions The team's experiments demonstrated the attack's effectiveness across various devices, prompting urgent discussions on enhancing UWB security. The research emphasizes the need for collaborative efforts to fortify UWB systems against such vulnerabilities. 🔗 Dive deeper into the technical details and explore potential defenses in the full study: https://lnkd.in/gkb4a4V5   For our proprietary threat intelligence feeds and even more information related to the automotive world, reach out to us at vultara.com/contact Credit to the researchers from: 犬安科技(GoGoByte) University of Electronic Science and Technology of China Tsinghua University #CyberSecurity #UWBTechnology #Innovation #TechNews #Vultara #AutmotiveCybersecurity
