Master Fault Injection: Hands-On Training for Security Professionals
As modern embedded systems become increasingly secure at the software level, attackers turn to Fault Injection to uncover vulnerabilities, extract cryptographic keys, and compromise device integrity. This powerful hardware attack technique can bypass even the most robust protections. For security labs, device manufacturers, automotive OEMs, government agencies, and anyone deploying embedded systems, understanding and mitigating these attacks is no longer optional; it’s essential.
Glitching Isn't Enough
While Fault Injection techniques are widely known, they are often applied through trial-and-error testing, producing unreliable results that cannot be reproduced or transferred across devices. Your team might successfully glitch one target after hours of experimentation, only to find the approach completely fails on the next.
Security teams, whether in-house or in labs, are increasingly expected to assess hardware security risks and demonstrate real-world attack scenarios. Yet most practitioners approach Fault Injection as an art of luck rather than a science of methodology. The gap between “getting a glitch” and engineering reproducible attacks represents a critical weakness in modern security testing capabilities.
Without structured methodologies, your team faces:
- Inconsistent results that undermine confidence in security assessments
- Inability to transfer successful attacks across different System-on-Chip platforms
- Difficulty explaining and defending security findings to stakeholders
- Extended timelines and deadlines for vulnerability research and product security validation
The solution: an on-site, hands-on advanced training with real targets, professional equipment, and a complete software suite for designing and executing Fault Injection campaigns. No e-learning module or book can match the depth of practical experience needed to deliver repeatable results — on time and with confidence in findings.
Who It’s For
The Art of Fault Injection is an advanced, 4-day, hands-on onsite training — delivered at your location or at Keysight facilities in the US or EU — designed for experienced practitioners who want to move from experimental glitching to repeatable, expert-level Fault Injection.
- Security testing labs providing independent hardware security assessments
- Semiconductor manufacturers validating product resilience against physical attacks
- Research institutes advancing embedded security research
- Forensic investigators and law enforcement teams requiring reliable hardware exploitation techniques
- Government agencies securing sensitive embedded systems used in defense, critical infrastructure, and field operations
- IoT solution providers ensuring device integrity and protecting against hardware-level exploits in connected ecosystems
- Automotive OEMs safeguarding critical systems against physical attacks that could compromise safety
If your team already has basic Fault Injection experience and wants to move beyond ad-hoc glitching, this training helps you build repeatable methods you can apply across devices.
What Your Team Will Master
This intensive training transforms how your team approaches Fault Injection. Participants learn to think like expert attackers who can systematically characterize targets, model fault behavior, and build attack primitives that work reliably across devices.
With 75% hands-on practice and 25% focused lectures, participants work directly with hardware, timing-sensitive triggers, and realistic Fault Injection scenarios.
Agenda Highlights:
Develop a structured Fault Injection methodology that replaces trial-and-error with systematic target characterization, fault analysis, and attack primitive development.
This approach enables reproducible results and transferable techniques across different hardware platforms.
Execute real-world attacks on modern hardware by reproducing documented exploits against the ESP32, including Secure Boot bypasses and encrypted boot attacks. Participants understand the principles behind these attacks, enabling them to adapt techniques to other System-on-Chip architectures.
Build organizational capabilities that increase confidence in security assessments, reduce time-to-results in vulnerability research, and provide clear risk analysis for stakeholders. The training equips teams with decision-making frameworks for trigger selection, parameter optimization, and fault interpretation.
75% Hands-On Experience
Participants use Keysight’s Fault Injection equipment, including the DS1180A Glitch Pattern Generator and DS1140A 1.5 A Glitch Amplifier, and the Inspector Software Suite, while working through exercises that mirror real security testing scenarios.
Delivered onsite at your location or at Keysight facilities in Delft, Netherlands, or San Francisco, United States, the training is led by security experts with over 20 years of embedded systems experience.
Transform Your Fault Injection Capabilities
If your team is ready to move from glitching to engineering, from experiments to expertise, this training provides the structured methodology and practical skills that define advanced Fault Injection capabilities.
