Using Superpowers for Hardware Reverse Engineering
From BruCON 2014
Superpowers, normally used by superheroes in the battle of good versus evil, are also accessible to engineers and hackers in equipment used for failure analysis and verification of PCB fabrication and component assembly processes. In this mostly visual presentation, Joe shares his experiences of using lasers, X-rays, and sound waves to aid in the reverse engineering of electronic products and circuit boards.
