This page will be a central resource for investigations & studies into microcontroller security, copy protection & attack techniques (both invasive and non-invasive). As they become known to me, and after I have verified them, all procedures (including methods and hardware requirements) in connection with any particular microcontroller will be listed here.

I have compiled a PIC 12c508a deprotection tutorial. Click here to view it.
