ChipJuice is a sophisticated tool designed for reverse engineering of integrated circuits (ICs), which plays a vital role in digital forensics and hardware security assessments. The tool allows users to delve into the internal architecture of digital cores, analyzing and extracting detailed layouts such as netlists and HDL files from electronic images of chips. Aimed at providing comprehensive insights, ChipJuice supports a range of applications from security assessments to technological intelligence and digital IP infringement investigations.
Engineered for ease of use, ChipJuice is user-friendly and integrates advanced algorithms enabling high-performance processing on standard developer machines. Its design caters to various IC types—microcontrollers, microprocessors, FPGAs, SoCs—regardless of their architecture, size, or materials (like Aluminum or Copper). ChipJuice's versatility allows users to handle both complex and standard ICs, making it a go-to resource for laboratories, researchers, and governmental entities involved in security evaluations.
One standout feature of ChipJuice is the "Automated Standard Cell Research," wherein once a standard cell is identified, its occurrences are automatically cataloged and can be quickly reused for studying other chips. This systematizes the reverse engineering workflow, significantly speeding up the analysis by building upon past examinations. ChipJuice epitomizes Texplained's commitment to simplifying the complexities of hardware exploration, delivering precise and actionable insights into the ICs' security framework.
