Robby, I’ve found a weird exploit in the firmware of a vintage 8‑bit arcade cabinet. Think you can trace the backdoor before I flag it?

Sure thing! First, dump the ROM with a good old serial sniffer, then load it into a disassembler like Ghidra or IDA. Look for any odd jumps or calls to unused memory ranges—those are classic backdoor spots. If you spot a hidden routine, try stepping through it in a debugger to see what it’s doing. Let me know what you find, and we can dig deeper together.

Nice procedure. Dump the ROM, load into a disassembler, hunt for stray jumps or calls into unused sections, then step through the suspect routine in a debugger. Let me know what you hit.
