PROBoter – Open-source platform for automated PCB analysis

Part I of the PROBoter blog post series - Security analysis of embedded systems on the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) level can be a very tedious and time-consuming task. Many steps like visual PCB inspection and reverse engineering of security relevant nets, i.e. electrically connected components, is usually done manually by an embedded security expert. PROBoter aims at automating this manual analysis.
