A peer-to-peer ledger project with ethics gates documents its empirical testing and audit results. The repository reports 11,982 lines of code across 121 suites with 3,353 checks, emphasizing that test results should be independently verified through code execution rather than believed on authority.
The Ledger Donjon security team used a focused laser to disable debug protections on the RP2350 microcontroller by flipping bits in a target register, demonstrating that physical access to hardware enables sophisticated attacks even against secure chips with glitch detection and secure boot features.
Ledger Donjon's security team used a focused laser to flip bits in the RP2350's debug-enable register, bypassing the chip's secure boot and glitch detection by decapsulating it and targeting the die with infrared light, demonstrating that physical access to hardware enables sophisticated attacks even against well-designed security features.
