The first I heard about decapping was when the Euro crimefags used it to mitigate 'smart chips' in credit cards but it doesnt take much imagination to apply it to pretty much every chip/firmware compromise tactic you can imagine.
I was fully committed to calling you and your bretheren out on some quality bullshit.

Decapping chips, drilling and reading memory with isotopes. IT guys who never touched a discrete component in their lives.

Your post stuck with me though. I looked up decapping chips just now.

The chips in this video are the simpliest you can find. Old school TTL logic - 7400 series and, nand, or, nor boolean shit. A far cry from what is inside your phone.

But I love a good hack and I am going down the rabbit hole. Still feels like horseshit.
