HAL -- An Open-Source Framework for Gate-Level Netlist Analysis
Julian Speith, Jörn Langheinrich, Marc Fyrbiak +7
HAL is an open-source framework for gate-level netlist analysis, an integral step in hardware reverse engineering. It provides analysts with an interactive GUI, an extensible plugi…
A Look at the Dark Side of Hardware Reverse Engineering -- A Case Study
Sebastian Wallat, Marc Fyrbiak, Moritz Schlögel +1
A massive threat to the modern and complex IC production chain is the use of untrusted off-shore foundries which are able to infringe valuable hardware design IP or to inject hardw…
Hardware Reverse Engineering: Overview and Open Challenges
Marc Fyrbiak, Sebastian Strauß, Christian Kison +4
Hardware reverse engineering is a universal tool for both legitimate and illegitimate purposes. On the one hand, it supports confirmation of IP infringement and detection of circui…
Insights into the Mind of a Trojan Designer: The Challenge to Integrate a Trojan into the Bitstream
Maik Ender, Pawel Swierczynski, Sebastian Wallat +3
The threat of inserting hardware Trojans during the design, production, or in-field poses a danger for integrated circuits in real-world applications. A particular critical case of…
Highway to HAL: Open-Sourcing the First Extendable Gate-Level Netlist Reverse Engineering Framework
Sebastian Wallat, Nils Albartus, Steffen Becker +6
Since hardware oftentimes serves as the root of trust in our modern interconnected world, malicious hardware manipulations constitute a ubiquitous threat in the context of the Inte…
Towards Cognitive Obfuscation: Impeding Hardware Reverse Engineering Based on Psychological Insights
Carina Wiesen, Nils Albartus, Max Hoffmann +5
In contrast to software reverse engineering, there are hardly any tools available that support hardware reversing. Therefore, the reversing process is conducted by human analysts c…
