ChipWhisperer-Husky is a powerful, compact tool for working with side-channel power analysis and fault injection. Drawing on years of experience developing the ChipWhisperer-Lite and lab-grade ChipWhisperer-Pro, the ChipWhisperer-Husky adds new features like high-speed logic analyzers (to visualize glitches), real-time data streaming for attacking asymmetric algorithms, support for JTAG/SWD programming with an FTDI-compatible mode, and additional I/O expansion pins.
ChipWhisperer-Husky is designed to be highly accessible to researchers while maintaining a commitment to providing long-term support to all users. While the entire product is not OSHW-certified, the core—including the FPGA logic, microcontroller firmware, and computer code—is open-source, so you can make modifications and add features.
