Decoding EM-FI Attacks: Lessons Learned from Glitching the GigaDevice GD32F407

This 33-minute Black Hat conference talk explores electromagnetic fault injection (EM-FI) attack techniques, focusing on successfully glitching the GigaDevice GD32F407 microcontroller. Learn deterministic, actionable methods for operating and tuning an EM-FI rig to bypass hardware-based firmware read-out protection efficiently. The presenters, Jonathan Andersson and Thanos Kaliyanakis, share their experience with two distinct attack vectors and discuss unique observations from their research, including a related firmware readout protection bypass technique that can be applied to real-world targets.
