Your extreme claims that "nobody is going to do that", while I have actually seen people doing exactly that in modern universities and other reverse engineering

Your extreme claims that "nobody is going to do that", while I have actually seen people doing exactly that in modern universities and other reverse engineering institutions, just renders your stubborn know-best boring.
Yes, people do this. Yes, it is a lot of tedious work. PCIe signaling is not a panacea - there are reasons to fuzz like this.
I've also seen folks break out a tunneling electron microscope to dig deeper on de-laminated cores.
>I'm saying it's virtually impossible for a university student to do for fun with the resources available to them.
Now who's inventing straw man claims? "For fun"? Yes, for fun. "For profit"? Yes, for profit too. At universities? Yes, at universities.
Just give it up. The world is big.
- mikeyouse 2mo agoOne other bit in support is that the person you’re replying to read “university student” but OP said “Post-Doc” which I guess technically is a student at a university but a post-doc EE is an exceptionally skilled and specialized role who’s likely been working on that specific problem for 8+ years.
- MomsAVoxell 2mo agoI mean, there are universities with hardware reverse engineering labs in operation since the very, very beginning of hardware. I’m only persisting with the argument because the myopia is revealing.
