We discovered several vulnerabilities impacting the boot chain of several Samsung devices. Chained together, they allow us to execute code in the bootloader, get root access on Android with persistency, and finally leak anything from the Secure World's memory including the Android Keystore keys.

This blogpost explains how we recovered the firmware of a fleet-sharing Electronic Control Unit (ECU) which has been erased from a FAT memory using Capstone disassembler to locate scattered parts, to be able to reverse-engineer it.

This second article describes how to convert a Silo into a Server Silo in order to create a Windows Container. In addition, it dives into certain Kernel side Silo mechanisms.

Ever wanted to find a nice tool to easily represent cartography results and other graphs? The Sourcetrail tool could be a nice solution! In this blog post, we will introduce two of our tools: Numbat, a new Python API for Sourcetrail, and Pyrrha, a mapper collection for firmware cartography.

Study of an Android runtime (ART) hijacking mechanism for bytecode injection through a step-by-step analysis of the packer used to protect the DJI Pilot Android application.

This blog post presents an overview of QBinDiff, the Quarkslab binary diffing tool officially released today. It describes its core principles and shows how it works on binaries as well as on general graph matching problems unrelated to IT security.

This article presents the internals of Windows Container.

In this blog post we discuss how to debug Windows' Isolated User Mode (IUM) processes, also known as Trustlets, using the virtual TPM of Microsoft Hyper-V as our target.

This blog post presents an overview of Starlink's User Terminal runtime internals, focusing on the communications that happen within the device and with user applications and some tools that can help further research on the same topic.

In this blog post, we present a new vulnerability on the Gecko Bootloader from Silicon Labs more precisely inside the OTA parser.
