This advanced session introduces fault injection to bypass hardened UART protections. Students learn how controlled glitches in voltage or timing can disrupt authentication checks or secure boot processes. The instructor explains safe glitching practices and demonstrates bypassing login or firmware protections through induced faults. This class connects the entire module by showing how UART exploitation extends even to modern devices with countermeasures.
