Fuzzing continues to be the fastest way to find security issues and test for bugs. Effective Hardware Fuzzing with Peach will introduce students to the fundamentals of device fuzzing. Peach was designed to fuzz any type of data consumer from servers to embedded devices. Researchers, corporations, and governments already use Peach to find vulnerabilities in hardware. This course will focus on using Peach to target embedded devices and collect information from the device in the event of a crash. Students that take this course will be able to interface or extend Peach to fuzz their own hardware platforms.
The course is designed to be student-centric, hands-on, and lab intensive. On day one you will learn to bridge the Peach Fuzzing Framework to target hardware. You will learn how to use Peach to fuzz the variety of targets, buses, and protocols an embedded device can present. On the second day you learn how to collect feedback from behind the silicon curtain and extend Peach to fit your custom hardware targets.
