You Can Run but You Cant Hide Reverse Engineering Using X-Ray
George Tarnovsky presents you can run but you cant hide reverse engineering using x-ray: Most of us have knowledge of PCB construction.
Summary
Architecture and Background
Most of us have knowledge of PCB construction.
Vulnerability Analysis
In the past reversing someone's design was an easy task due to the simplicity of the PCB design. Now with BGA's( Ball Grid Array's), manufacturers using several plane layers cover the entire PCB design and obscuring the details of the PCB from view.
Exploitation and Demonstrations
Thru the use of X-Ray, we are able to reverse engineer virtually anything.
Remediation and Defensive Strategies
Slides will be presented show several PCB designs and how easy it was to reverse engineer the PCB. Also presenting videos of live views and dynamic zoom; this will demonstrate the true power of the X-Ray and its ability to see sub-micron features within the PCB structure and devices while manipulating the PCB.
