The #NSA with the help of #philips #backdoored (again!) a european military messaging #device in the 80ies, a few years ago the fine people of the #cryptomuseum published everything they knew about it - including a #firmware dump:
https://www.cryptomuseum.com/crypto/philips/ua8295/

back then i #reverseEngineered this, and last week finally cleaned it up, and publish it today:

It would be nice if someone #ReverseEngineered the #RetroTINK devices, their firmware, and their firmware-flashing utility to have a #FOSS implementation. This is particularly important for the firmware and the flash utility, as last I knew it's Windows-only.

I feel I can go back to Reverse Engineering totally now, (I have been both a bit sick and burned out (   ) for some reasons I wont go into) but -

now I feel - that - in a few days, or in a week - I will be getting into Reverse Engineering again, and I will be making a blog, and complete some of my (way too ) many projects on GitHub. I am that kind of person that makes multiple projects, but finishing them is.. A challenge   

..So what is this meant to convey? Well, people who know me on GitHub and all that, will see major improvements and more progress coming up *very soon*. ^_^ Have a nice day!!

Yesterday was my 3rd guest lecture at #georgemasonuniversity as this one was about Industrial Control Systems and #embeddedsystems where we live #reverseengineered a mock hacked electrical grid using #ARM #assembler and #reverseengineering and successfully restored the power grid! Was great to you all there and looking forward to seeing you again!

Hacking a weird TV censoring device

Let me start with that I'm NOT A SHILL, I'm simply stating my own preferences for a program that I have come to very much enjoy in the past few weeks/months, despite the fact that it has been developed by a tyrannically corrupt, capitalistic-minded government (my words and not theirs).

I've recently made #Ghidra a serious part of my regularly used development toolkit, particularly when it comes to coding with C/C++ despite the fact that this particular piece of software has been developed by the NSA themselves in the United States.

The potential security concerns are simply outweighed by the immense amount of useful, reverse engineering features that #Ghidra provides to the average software developer, without having to invest a small mortgage into something alternative like #IDAPro, which would've been the more traditional choice.

So yeah! I think anyone who is serious about developing software, particularly if it's with code that #compiles natively to machine code, that they take up learning and/or trying out Ghidra!

The list of features is too large to list but my favorite would have to be the version tracking provided, so you can easily make comparisons between different versions of software at a glance, whilst reverse-engineered, and see what a close-sourced developer has been up to in their time. Or simply see for yourself what a change in a LOC has accomplished for you!

I haven't even mentioned the best part and that is the fact that the program features an #ouroboros #Dragon eating its own tail while breathing #binary #code as its breath weapon! Just have a look at the attachment, it really does look as cool as it sounds.
