AI-FI: Giving Claude Code Glitch Skills for Bypassing Secure Boot

This article describes how Claude Code autonomously performed a fault injection attack to bypass Secure Boot on an ESP32 SoC. All hardware tools were controlled by Claude, software was written using third-party libraries, and humans only supervised. This is the first publicly documented AI-driven fault injection attack, showcasing AI's potential in hardware vulnerability discovery and exploitation.
