About

This is a semester project in Master program in Eurecom under instruction of professor Aurelien Francillon and Romain Cayre.

Goals:

• Reverse engineer the OTA firmware update process on nRF51 and nRF52 chips from Nordic Semiconductor, document its internals and identify potential vulnerabilities.
• Evaluate the attack surface exposed by this critical service and estimate if an attacker can compromise the target device by injecting a malicious firmware update.

See this project description file for the introduction of the project.
