With my university CTF team we participated in pwn2own, a hardware bug bounty competition, and attempted to hack a smart home hub and synology IoT camera. We sucesfully developped an exploit for the camera, but 12h before the competition synology published an update. Talk is about how we hacked and what happened with the update
Includes specialised precise soldering equipment to extract data from bga153 format chips, U-boot hacking, format strings, etc.
