It's a dig at anything closed.
- superuser2 13y agoWhy would open source hardware not be vulnerable to this sort of attack?
- jdiez17 13y agoTwo reasons: First: peer review. If your design documents are readily available, researchers don't have to reverse engineer them. Also, by open sourcing hardware design you lower the bar for critique: you might get feedback from an experienced electrical engineer who might not know how to write and upload a custom firmware for a USB controller. Second: you can easily change it because it's not a black box.
