This post details the first step in a security analysis of a drone, including firmware dumping from flash memory and the extraction of cryptographic keys. The authors explain how to bypass hardware protections to access the data, then employ a brute-force attack on ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) keys. The process highlights vulnerabilities in the drone's key storage and management.
