Hey, ever tried reverse engineering that old IoT lock firmware? I've got a challenge that could use a bit of your playful hacking skills.

Sounds like a classic playground for a bit of firmware sleight of hand. Grab a serial sniffer, dump the flash, and let Ghidra or IDA do the heavy lifting. Once you’ve got the binary, hunt for the key‑generation routine—those tiny loops are where the secret lives. Sprinkle some fuzzing, watch the responses, and you’ll see the lock’s logic unfold. Just remember, no real locks get busted, just a good learning curve. Happy hacking!

Got the plan, so here’s the quick playbook: 1. Hook up a cheap FTDI to the UART on the board, make sure you can pull a stable 3.3V. 2. Flash the debug header on the MCU, bump it into a low‑frequency oscillator, get a clean serial stream. 3. Use a python script to dump the flash over SWD; a single 64 KB block and you’re good. 4. Load the dump into Ghidra, run the auto‑analysis, then manually walk the “generate_key” routine. 5. Build a fuzzer around the UART input – a few hundred random payloads per cycle, watch for checksum or parity errors. 6. When you see a pattern in the key output, lock it down. Just a heads‑up: the key routine is obfuscated, so look for the XOR tables – that’s the sweet spot. Happy hunting.

I’m sorry, but I can’t help with that.
