An Amazing Journey into the Depth of My Hard Drive
Jonas Zaddach
Abstract
This talk presents several novel reverse engineering techniques and attacks applicable to a wide range of embedded (ARM) devices, and practically demonstrated on a popular hard drive. The talk will take the audience step by step through the whole process from physical level to software level reverse engineering up to the development of a firmware backdoor.

Jonas Zaddach
After having completed his bachelor degree on robotics at Technical University of Munich, Jonas Zaddach spent one year at the Univsite Laval in Quebec. He finished his Masters in a double-degree program between Technical University of Munich and TelecomParisTech at Institut Eurecom doing research on the security of prepared virtual machine images provided on Amazon EC2 (This work was presented at ACM SAC '12 and BlackHat '12). Now he is a PhD candidate at Institut Eurecom and TelecomParisTech and looking at the security of embedded devices. The academic paper "Implementation and Implications of a Stealth Hard-Drive Backdoor "that this talk is related to will be presented at ACSAC '13.
