The interface blocks

The interface block encompasses every subsystem that provides the user with feedback, being visual (screens, status LEDs, and so on) or otherwise haptic feedback. Just like the actuator block, these can be leveraged as (usually high-speed) exfiltration interfaces. Depending on how you look at it, you can classify the interfaces here that are targeted at pure point-to-point physical/bus communication (serial, USB, and so on).

Jean-Georges Valle

Jean-Georges Valle

Jean-Georges Valle is a hardware penetration tester based in Belgium. His background was in software security, with hardware being a hobby, and he then started to look into the security aspects of hardware. He has spent the last decade testing various systems, from industrial logic controllers to city-scale IoT, and from media distribution to power metering. He has learned to attack embedded systems and to leverage them against cloudscale infrastructure. He is the lead hardware technical expert in an offensive security team for a leader company in the security and incident response sector. Jean-Georges holds a master's degree in information security and focuses on security at the point of intersection with hardware and software, hardware and software interaction, exploit development in embedded systems, and open source hardware.
