A profile of iSTARE, an Intel hardware hacking group that analyzes and attacks future generations of chips to find critical flaws before they go into production
as Intel's Steve Brown puts it, “you want to do the best you can, but there are times when maybe it wasn't enough or the assumptions changed” https://www.wired.com/... Martijn Rasser / @martijnrasser : “The goal is to probe the chip for weaknesses under the same conditions an attacker would—albeit with prototypes or even virtualized renderings—using tools like electron microscopes to peer inside the processor's inner workings.” https://www.wired.com/... Tom Garrison / @tommgarrison : A rare glimpse of the @Intel Security Threat Analysis and Reverse Engineering (iSTARE) lab; our research team analyzes/attacks future generations of chips.

Getting paid to break other people's toys? That is how @Intel's iSTARE team views their offensive #security research. Learn more about the iSTARE lab and their work in @WIRED here: https://www.wired.com/... #IamIntel

Intel's hardware hackers hunts for security flaws before chips are mass produced. It's incredibly high stakes work—as Intel's Steve Brown puts it, “you want to do the best you can, but there are times when maybe it wasn't enough or the assumptions changed” https://www.wired.com/.…
