Hardware & Kernel Security
Low-level vulnerabilities can bypass OS security. We test hardware interfaces and kernel drivers.
Methodology
What We Test
- Secure Boot chain of trust and TEE (Trusted Execution Environment)
- Kernel drivers, modules, and privilege levels
- Memory protections (ASLR, DEP/NX, SMEP/SMAP)
- Side-channel leakage (Power analysis, Timing attacks)
- Hardware debug ports and fuse configurations
- DMA (Direct Memory Access) attacks
How We Test
We use fault injection (glitching) to bypass security checks. We fuzz kernel drivers to find corruption primitives. We develop custom shellcode to demonstrate ring-0 execution. We analyze power traces to extract cryptographic keys.
What You Receive
- Proof-of-Concept (PoC) exploits for local escalation
- Driver hardening patches and recommendations
- Hardware design changes to mitigate side-channels
- Secure boot configuration fixes
Toolkit
- ChipWhisperer
- Oscilloscope
- Logic Analyzer
- Syzkaller
