I enjoy playing with hardware and network protocols, especially with IEEE 802.11. @6e726d@infosec.exchange

It's BlackHat/DEF CON week so I'd like to interrupt your regularly scheduled chest drumming feed! Let's talk about a critical WiFi 7 memory corruption bug. The flaw was in Hostapd, the userland daemon which powers the world's WiFi on the majority of access points. I reported this in June and it's now patched upstream. My proof of concept shows that authenticated clients can bypass ASLR to leak pointers OTA and inject code execution. 802.1X Enterprise WiFi 7 is basically exploitable pre-auth because of the "outer tunnel". This bug was missed by LLM scans as well as human auditors, but found in the wifi gauntlet. If you're at BH/DC this week and interested in the memory safe wifi stack we're building please reach out

Just dropped a blog post on reproducing a known voltage glitching attack to bypass APPROTECT on the nRF52840! 😎 Spent hours soldering & debugging to get it right. Not novel, but a messy journey—check it out: matiassoler.com/posts/approt…

The complexity of the IEEE 802.11 protocol standard continues to increase. In my view, overly complex protocol standards often create more problems than they solve.
New version of the IEEE 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi was has been released. A total of 5969 pages! The number of pages clearly keeps increasing. That includes more features to defend networks, but also more features to potentially abuse.

It's known that we got hired by Raspberry Pi to try to hack the RP2350 - and now, as the hacking challenge has come to an end, we can also share that we succeeded in doing so!
Last year, @Raspberry_Pi hired us to test the security of the RP2350 - and using electro-magnetic fault-injection we were able to successfully bypass the OTP security measures! This allowed us to read and modify the OTP locks, essentially bypassing the RP2350 secure-boot.

Security through transparency: all chips have vulnerabilities, and most vendors' strategy is not to talk about them. In contrast, we aim to find and fix them. Read the results of our RP2350 Hacking Challenge: rpltd.co/rp2350-challenge-up…
