Laser Fault Injection on a Budget: RP2350 Edition
Researchers have demonstrated a low‑cost laser fault‑injection technique targeting the RP2350 microcontroller used in Raspberry Pi Pico boards. By repurposing inexpensive laser diodes and a simple optical setup, they induced timing and voltage disturbances that caused instruction skips and corrupted data. The study outlines the hardware configuration, attack methodology, and potential implications for embedded‑system security testing, offering in‑depth guidance for researchers.
