I've stayed up for days while working on this RE project. For me it has been going on for a little over a year. Some might say that it's bad for me to be doing this work as much as I am. I live to be absorbed by my work. Perhaps I am just a Mathematician doing different work. ;)

I couldn't get the specific SiFive GCC binutils to work a little over a year ago. I did know how to use GCC back then, not rigging a sketchy GCC version by a company to be called like it was a kosher version to cross disassemble. I did it to do it and for hardware addresses/black box.

I ran a few utilities on the objects to determine what architecture, calls to existing code and other fun information.

I discovered how it has dual existence. Waveforming is being used and this is the first I've heard of it being used for this frequency range. That's fascinating but most likely patented.

Many files that are required to build the blobs are in the release or available. Some code is custom made and Mr. Wang is a beast with his code. I'm still trying to put everything together so I can get some documentation out for clean room.

This has been a very long and infuriating project. I've learned a lot. Hopefully I can find enough information.

I'm had some recent developments on the BL602. One being the community, bella gerant alli.

I have been digging through the official source code and found many things. The Atcommands are Haynes Instructions and more importantly, required for the other blobs. The atcoms link the entire system together. This isn't news to the few people who deal with modems.

I did some more RE work recently too. I finally managed to get the archives to disassemble.

My device died and I had to recover so many accounts. More to go but at least I'm back. I have a lot of good news and a new device.

@PawelK @Virgin @mathlover I do questionable things for money and entertainment.

@PawelK @Virgin @mathlover Cryptography can be detected by monitoring power use as each feature produces different signals and utilization. Even SDRs have been used to to detect encrypting.

I've been involved in pentesting activities. For one, a comrade said that a certain panel couldn't be tampered with normally and the accessible part, in an elevator shaft, was heavily monitored. IE, it couldn't be tapped with conventional methods without it setting off alarms. I came up with a way but we were never able to get the contract.

@PawelK @mathlover Sweet Serendipity.

@PawelK @Virgin @mathlover In my experience, Comp Sci Majors don't know about JTAG, UART,...,etc or how to solder. If they were the older classes when they knew ASM and hardware, they could hack esp if they had a background in Mathematics. Mathematics is why a lot of Ruskie Hackers have been able to break encryption. They were the best at one point.

I just looked at my heart rate and it was 61 bpm. This is my normal resting heart rate down to 58 bpm. I took my medication for ADHD recently. If this seems unrelated, see the next paragraph.

My resting HR is 61 bpm on amphetamine and my blood pressure is perfect.

@mathlover I hope that this makes you feel better. Mathematics is one of the only pure fields. No one can question something that doesn't become outdated because it was proven by the strongest and most powerful proofs in existence. The purity of the field is what makes it immune.

Go with Computer Science. Did you know that you have a CompSci background? You likely used \LaTeX and Beamer to create your dissertation presentation. Maple, Mathematica or Sage Mathematics to demonstrate it. You've used typesetting and programming in the most intensively investigated and professional settings, presenting a Doctoral Dissertation in Mathematics.
If they say that isn't applicable, tell them to ask someone who could properly screen an applicant like you.

@mathlover I built my former University's Cybersecurity Laboratory and did research there. No record of that exists.

So Cybersecurity is a bastard field that leverages the general incompetence of CompSci and uses outdated information to teach about outdated threats. The certification groups exist to write outdated material and collect their massive fees. They are malevolent groups who have made all jobs in Cybersecurity answer to them and get whatever plunder they want.

SOLARWINDS123 was approved by a highly certificated and educated individual.

@mathlover Universities have no real authority. Some professors are pillars of light but they are the only purity in Universities.

Universities have a heritage going back to antiquity that gives them credibility. IE, a University has to be a descendant of another University. This is the way it has been since God created the Earth and the first University from which all others originate.

It's based in flawed logic that either derives authority from a fairytale lineage or goes back to the days when learning was free and subsequently enslaved.

Many years ago I was jokingly called Will Hunting because I was a talented Mathematician who worked as a Custodian. How about them apples?

I've been going through a rough period for the past couple of years and all the small things are catching up with me. I did research on RISC-V for my former University without pay or credit and it was alongside a doctor. I stirred up a different department on collaboration with CompSci and kept pushing FLOSS. I was effectively forced out before the talks could start so someone likely got credited with what I did.

In life I'm looked at as a failure, someone who had a bright future from a bad background. Sometimes I look back at those who ended up being successful and wonder what factors played a role in their success.

I'm not eligible for many careers because of my lack of a BS Degree. For a double Major in Mathematics and Computer Science with a minor in Cybersecurity with experience in the fields of all the above. I wasn't able to pay tuition or get a good paying job and had to quit during my senior year.

@PawelK @hn50 The USA and China have a lot to benefit from this if they wanted such a system. China could use a similar module as their Hypersonic missile, which was operational before Russia's missile, to provide multi role strikes, targeting and guidance. The USA might develop a more sophisticated version as a yeet defense against Hypersonic missiles. The B2 was thought to be unstoppable too but filling the air with AA flack brought it down.

I gave the information about the original source code to Nutcracker members. I'm going to let them have this one. I got asked if I had uploaded any source code and I said no. Luckily I have time stamped information from here and posts. They will give credit.

I also found Nordic Semiconductor code in the Bluetooth stack, same with Intel. It makes sense that it's APLV2. The question remains whether it's right to be able to use open source software to create closed source software. Morally it's worse than theft, it's salting the earth.

Sometimes companies need to learn how hard the FLOSS community can hit back. I saw an impressive amalgamation of several different RTOS projects and resources that were mostly licensed by APLV2 or BSD. The collective work of these being ported is not open source.

A private company recruited volunteers to Reverse Engineer the firmware and it has been about 2 years of work without being completed.
