There are 6 other contests in CSAW besides just the Underhanded Hardware Contest. Go register now!

Once I viewed this as text only, it looks like fun.

This FPGA board sound nice, really affordable. The only stupid thing is that shipping and tax will double the price :(

The only trusted source of encryption hardware appliances will be those constructed by yourself, assuming you don’t use encryption chips. Big Brother thrives.

Seems like the fact that they don’t md5 the binaries before burning them makes this too easy… The hardest part would be finding a way to cut the fat on a bit of existing code, then just add a little state machine that looks for magic sequences on the input and acts accordingly, possibly adding a few random gates to make the binary the exact size as the original.
