A Mask ROM Tool in Qt6 and C++

Presented at ShmooCon 2023, Jan. 21, 2023, 11 a.m. (60 minutes).

After chemically decapsulating, delayering, and staining a microchip, its ROM can be photographed to reveal the physical bits. This talk will describe how I wrote an open tool in Qt6 and C++ for annotating these photographs to painlessly extract tens of thousands of bits for reverse engineering.
