re-hw-chip

What it does: - Analyzes computer chips and circuit boards at the physical level - Removes chip packaging to see the silicon inside - Finds hidden circuits, detects tampering, and reads data from the chip itself - Uses microscopes, probes, and special tools to examine electronics When to use it: - You cannot get the program code any other way and need to look at the actual chip - You need to find hidden circuits or check if someone added malicious code - You want to read data directly from the silicon - Do not use it for program code analysis at the software level - Do not use it for wireless signals or network protocols - This is the last resort when all software methods fail
