DOI:10.46586/tches.v2021.i1.56-81 Fill your Boots: Enhanced Embedded Bootloader Exploits via Fault Injection and Binary Analysis Jan Van den Herrewegen1, David Oswald1, Flavio D. Garcia1 and Qais Temeiza2 1 School of Computer Science, University of Birmingham, UK, {jxv572,d.f.oswald,f.garcia}@cs.bham.ac.uk 2 Independent Researcher, [email protected] Abstract. The bootloader of an embedded microcontroller is responsible for guarding the device’s internal (flash) memory, enforcing read/write protection mechanisms. Fault injection techniques such as voltage or clock glitching have been proven successful in bypassing such protection for specific microcontrollers, but this often requires expensive equipment and/or exhaustive search of the fault parameters. When multiple glitches are required (e.g., when countermeasures are in place) this search becomes of exponential complexity and thus infeasible. Another challenge which makes embedded bootloaders notoriously hard to analyse is their lack of debugging capabilities. This paper proposes a grey-box approach that leverages binary analysis and advanced software exploitation techniques combined with voltage glitching to develop a powerful attack methodology against embedded bootloaders. We showcase our techniques with three real-world microcontrollers as case studies: 1) we combine static and on-chip dynamic analysis to enable a Return-Oriented Programming exploit on the bootloader of the NXP LPC microcontrollers; 2) we leverage on-chip dynamic analysis on the bootloader of the popular STM8 microcontrollers to constrain the glitch parameter search, achieving the first fully-documented multi-glitch attack on a real-world target; 3) we apply symbolic execution to precisely aim voltage glitches at target instructions based on the execution path in the bootloader of the Renesas 78K0 automotive microcontroller.

  • A Survey of Reverse Engineering Tools for the 32-Bit Microsoft Windows Environment
    A Survey of Reverse Engineering Tools for the 32-Bit Microsoft Windows Environment RAYMOND J. CANZANESE, JR., MATTHEW OYER, SPIROS MANCORIDIS, and MOSHE KAM College of Engineering Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA, USA Reverse engineering is defined by Chikosfky and Cross as the process of analyzing a subject system to identify the system's components and their relationships, and to create representations of the system in another form or at a higher level of abstraction. The process of reverse engineering is accomplished using specific tools that, for the 32-bit Microsoft Windows environment, are categorized as hex editors, disassemblers/debuggers, decompilers, or related technologies such as code obfuscators, unpackers, and PE editors. An evaluation of each tool is provided that identifies its domain of applicability and usability. Categories and Subject Descriptors: A.1 [General]: Introductory and Survey; D.2.5 [Software Engineering]: Testing and Debugging General Terms: Security, Documentation Additional Key Words and Phrases: Reverse Engineering, Disassemblers, Debuggers, Decompilers, Code Obfuscators, PE Editors Unpackers, Hex Editors 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Reverse Engineering Process Software engineers are sometimes asked to understand the behavior of a program given that program's binary executable file. If they have access to the appropriate reverse engineering tools, they might choose to adhere to the following process. First, a general disassembler/debugger is used to determine the basic functionality of the program. If disassembly and debugging shows that the binary code has been obfuscated, the next step would be to determine whether the obfuscator used is a common commercial obfuscator or a custom protection scheme. A PE editor would be used to make this determination.

  • GPU-Disasm: a GPU-Based X86 Disassembler
    GPU-Disasm: A GPU-based x86 Disassembler Evangelos Ladakis1, Giorgos Vasiliadis1, Michalis Polychronakis2, Sotiris Ioannidis1, and Georgios Portokalidis3 1 FORTH-ICS, Greece fladakis, gvasil, [email protected] 2 Stony Brook University, USA [email protected] 3 Stevens Institute of Technology, USA [email protected] Abstract. Static binary code analysis and reverse engineering are cru- cial operations for malware analysis, binary-level software protections, debugging, and patching, among many other tasks. Faster binary code analysis tools are necessary for tasks such as analyzing the multitude of new malware samples gathered every day. Binary code disassembly is a core functionality of such tools which has not received enough atten- tion from a performance perspective. In this paper we introduce GPU- Disasm, a GPU-based disassembly framework for x86 code that takes advantage of graphics processors to achieve efficient large-scale analy- sis of binary executables. We describe in detail various optimizations and design decisions for achieving both inter-parallelism, to disassem- ble multiple binaries in parallel, as well as intra-parallelism, to decode multiple instructions of the same binary in parallel. The results of our experimental evaluation in terms of performance and power consumption demonstrate that GPU-Disasm is twice as fast than a CPU disassembler for linear disassembly and 4.4 times faster for exhaustive disassembly, with power consumption comparable to CPU-only implementations. 1 Introduction Code disassemblers are typically used to translate byte code to assembly lan- guage, as a first step in understanding the functionality of binaries when source code is not available. Besides software debugging and reverse engineering, dis- assemblers are widely used by security experts to analyze and understand the behaviour of malicious programs [8,12], or to find software bugs and vulnerabili- ties in closed-source applications.

  • Differentiating Code from Data in X86 Binaries
    Differentiating Code from Data in x86 Binaries Richard Wartell, Yan Zhou, Kevin W. Hamlen, Murat Kantarcioglu, and Bhavani Thuraisingham Computer Science Department, University of Texas at Dallas, Richardson, TX 75080 {rhw072000,yan.zhou2,hamlen,muratk,bhavani.thuraisingham}@utdallas.edu Abstract. Robust, static disassembly is an important part of achieving high coverage for many binary code analyses, such as reverse engineering, malware analysis, reference monitor in-lining, and software fault isola- tion. However, one of the major difficulties current disassemblers face is differentiating code from data when they are interleaved. This paper presents a machine learning-based disassembly algorithm that segments an x86 binary into subsequences of bytes and then classifies each subse- quence as code or data. The algorithm builds a language model from a set of pre-tagged binaries using a statistical data compression technique. It sequentially scans a new binary executable and sets a breaking point at each potential code-to-code and code-to-data/data-to-code transition. The classification of each segment as code or data is based on the min- imum cross-entropy. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithm. Keywords: statistical data compression, segmentation, classification, x86 binary disassembly. 1 Introduction Disassemblers transform machine code into human-readable assembly code. For some x86 executables, this can be a daunting task in practice. Unlike Java byte- code and RISC binary formats, which separate code and data into separate sections or use fixed-length instruction encodings, x86 permits interleaving of code and static data within a section and uses variable-length, unaligned in- struction encodings.
