Great video, nice to see these videos. I use the avr PROGISP software which allows all that, and is compatible with multiple AVR Microcontrollers, it allows the user to lock the bootloader, look to which fuses are being configured, etc...

@JonathanDeWitt1988 Год назад

Andrei, I really appreciate this video. It is very useful information to know. I'm a member of many Facebook microcontroller groups. In one of the more popular groups Arduino for Beginners I see the question come up all the time about extracting code from an Arduino. I've never heavily researched the topic myself because I've never had the need. But it is useful and helpful to see how it is done. Thank you for taking the time to create and share this :) Now I have a specific tutorial I can refer those who ask that question.

@FridayParanormal Год назад

Neat! I will have to try this on a few boards. Makes me want to look for a way to convert the HEX into code again.

@Shocker99 Год назад

Probably not worth your time. Hex is converted to assembly. Then you have to match the assembly with C++ libraries. And then convert it to the program observed in the IDE. There are probably some reverse engineering tools available which would make it easier but i imagine it's still a challenge. There is a fuse that can be set to inhibit reading of the chip. If there is anything worth protecting and the developer is reasonably good, this fuse will be set.

@FridayParanormal Год назад

@@Shocker99 You are right, I did look into it after posting that, and yes, this is exactly what I found. It would be cool, but not really worth the effort.

@Henry-sv3wv Год назад

@@FridayParanormal That's what a c++ compiler does. Translates to (architecture dependend) machine code. For your PC it will be X86_64 opcode. A program for the Pico RP2040 will be translated to ARMv6-M Thumb instruction set.

@kartikrajurkar3708 Год назад

Very nice video, really appreciate your work. I think this method only works when the controller is unlocked via are fuses, once controller is lock (hardware lock) we may be able to read fuse value but reading hex and reprogramming the controller again will not be possible. Be careful while locking the controller 😉

@btomas225 Год назад

I'm not sure the above is true. I have read that once locked via the fuses, if it is attempted to read the device it will be erased first and then you can reprogram the device. So the device can be updated and used again. I'm no expert and I don't know the veracity of this statement but I recall reading this somewhere at sometime.

@Henry-sv3wv Год назад

You can disable Reset pin to turn it into another IO. That will lock you out of ISP programing mode cause reset is needed for that. Then you can only program the AVR with a special HV programmer or re enable reset with such a HV programmer. But if locked out of ISP i guess you can still use the arduino serial bootloader for programming if it is already on the chip... erasing the chip to reset read protection is possible

Well you can't get the code for Arduino. Just the hex code so you couldn't edit the code in Arduino IDE

@ShahZahid Год назад

well that is partially correct, for something like STM32 chips you can lock the flash that way no one can read the chips code but still there are some attacks to even get past that but thats just too tedious

@Enderkruemel Год назад

Why dont use the 6pins on the back on each Arduino? They are ment for doing exactly this i think... I have only one Problem, i used the Arduino ide and set the clock accidently from the internal to an external oscillator on an attiny13, and dont know how to set it back to Default. Is it possible to reprogramm it without any clock signal by just overwrite all stuff in its memory or does this overwrite need the clock?

yes it's the 6 pin ISP, In-System Programming avr connector. avr ISP programmers often have 10 pin but there is an adapter

@crisselectronicprojects8408 7 месяцев назад

Good work! But, there is a solution to not being able to copy the sketch from inside any microcontroller. Because I had the opportunity to be asked to make a sketch and the person in question dared to ask me if he could copy the code. I didn't answer him for two days. During this time I looked for ways to copy. And finally I managed to make a sketch with protection. How? Well, if the ISP is used for copying, I blocked a pin from the ISP in the sketch. That pin is activated with 3 passwords. When trying to copy, the respective pin being necessary for copying, will lead to damage to the sketch.

@@309electronics5 Depends on the device and the programmer. Most exploits you see hack the code by bypassing the debug mode check at boot up. Something that companies/programmers leave in the code and just turn off when they ship the product. The debug mode essentially gives the hacker god mode on the device. The debug mode is in the user space, not the root hardware space, which makes it easier to bypass - even if it's days/weeks on constant attempts.

It's not a problem when you have plenty of memory. It's the needed libraries that cause 'bloat'. Assembly is good if you have a tiny memory and only want to do counters and bit shifting, but as soon as you want to do some maths, you'll be glad for a higher level language.

@threeMetreJim Год назад

@@soerenraudonis I started on 6502 years ago hacking games for 8 bit computers and done some PIC micro (all in assembler). I wrote a 6502 assembler in 6502 years ago too (assembled via a BASIC program until it could assemble itself, the speed increase was impressive). I've managed to squeeze a fair bit into 8k of instruction space on a PIC (one project only 512 words) and only used integer multiplication and division. Assembly is great if you need exact timing or want to do really low level hardware stuff, but for anything more complicated.... Just look at the complexity of floating point maths in assembler. All you end up doing is writing your own routines that do the same as a library in the end. I can only imagine the difficulty (and time taken) to code something like a web server in assembly (on an ESP - is the instruction set and hardware manual even available?)
