Discovering Debug Interfaces with the JTAGulator

Presented at Black Hat Asia 2014, Unknown date/time (Unknown duration).

On-chip debug interfaces can provide chip-level control of a hardware device and are a primary attack vector to extract program code/data, modify memory contents, or affect device operation on the fly. Depending on the complexity of the target device, manually locating debug connections can be a difficult and time-consuming task, sometimes requiring physical destruction or modification of the device.
