This blog is part three in a four-part series on hardware hacking for the security professional and researcher. Be sure to check out part one, which covers Atmel microcontrollers, and part two, which discusses Nordic RF microcontrollers. In this blog, we will conduct further firmware extraction exercises and cover the Microchip PIC microcontroller (PIC32MX695F512H). To be able to gain access to the firmware on PIC microcontrollers, we will need to read directly from the controller over the in-circuit serial programmer (ICSP).[…]
