over the better part of a year, according to Wouters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>First, he compromised the black-box system using voltage fault injection during the execution of the system-on-chip ROM bootloader, which allowed him to bypass the firmware signature verification and run his own custom code on the terminal.&nbsp;This was all done in a lab setting, with various electronics to help, so don&#8217;t think this could be used against, say, a dish at a stranger&#8217;s home, Wouters said.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After successfully performing the side-channel attack in the university&#8217;s lab, Wouters notified the SpaceX product security team that he had achieved root-level access on the terminal, and said they offered him an easier way in: SSH access involving a Yubikey for authentication.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But I decided that I was way too far down the rabbit hole and I didn&#8217;t accept it,&#8221;
