clearly this is a call for an FPGA study group!

I believe there is, in fact, a local FPGA enthusiast group nearby, but I do not know what. I also tend to wonder if this is related to the DoD’s efforts to fund a contest to determine ways of detecting subtle manipulations of chips that could result in untrusted hardware.

Not enough hours in the day - quick! polyphasic chronoton generator, now!

We’re unofficially calling it “The Underhanded Hardware Challenge.” It should be really interesting once we get some results in.

Thanks Bre :-).

Looks as if it’s only open to university students, which is total ass.

@phooky We’ll release code so other people can play with it.
