DESCRIPTION:SPI NOR flash is a very common IC used as a boot medium for bo
 th BMC and Host firwmare. Data can be read bytewise and pretty fast. Write
 s on the other hand are much slower. NORbert is an open source RTL project
  with open source tooling that emulates this kind of IC. \n\nThe content o
 f the talk will be about why you'd want to emulate a SPI NOR flash and why
  you need to use an FPGA for this. I want to touch on what similar tools w
 ere previously available (dediprog EM100 & Trammel's spispy) and how NORbe
 rt improves upon them. IThe talk will showcase NORbert's functionality lik
 e logging and automated TOCTOU (time of check\, time of use) vulnerability
  exploits. Lastly I will talk about the co-designed rust tooling which wor
 ks also on the web.\n\nLink to NORbert: https://github.com/ArthurHeymans/N
