Our paper submitted to the 12th USENIX Workshop on Offensive Technologies (WOOT 2018) is accepted for publication. This is a joint work with NAIST and National Institute of Technology, Sendai College. Congrats, Wakabayashi-kun and Maruyama-kun! We note that the first version of this work was done by Hoshino-kun.
We also note that this work was largely inspired by Michael Ossmann’s exciting work presented at DEF CON 22:
