I've recently put some effort into reverse engineering several
PAL's and other (slightly) more complex programmable logic devices
that have had their security fuse blown. Would folks here be
interested in a general summary of the methods, pointers to
tools and hardware, etc?
This *isn't* rocket science, and it isn't putting the device in the
output end of a particle accelerator either :-). What I've done
here so far involves simple scanning circuits constructed from
common-as-dirt parts, and software to process the results of the scans.
