oh this is interesting a while ago ransomhouse leaked data from some chinese microcontroller company, and it seems nobody really noticed this company also makes TPMs a lot of the data looks crypted, but there’s some plaintext in there including listing files (which for C code seems to be preprocessor debug-output, with single character prefix denoting what the preprocessor did, comments and preprocessor directives and preprocessor output are ALL included) for the firmware of a production TPM implementation the anti-glitch stuff in particular seems like the usual fare for such, but if you haven’t seen such before then it looks kind of weird: enum { Cpy_OK = 0x55a55aa5, SetData_OK = 0x7CCF62F2, XOR_OK = 0x6A17D34A, RandomSort_OK = 0x51261DC5, CheckOrder_OK = 0x54830C23, Reverse_OK = 0x43C94C71, IsZero_YES = 0x7a7a7a7a, IsZero_NOT = 0x07070707, IsOne_YES = 0x6a6a6a6a, IsOne_NOT = 0x06060606, Cmp_EQUAL = 0x4a4a4a4a, Cmp_LESS = (int32_t)0x95959595, Cmp_GREATER = 0x6c6c6c6c, Cmp_ERROR = 0x00044400, SetData_ERROR = 0x00055500, CheckOrder_ERROR = 0x00066600, IsZero_ERROR = 0x00077700, Cpy_ERROR = 0x00088800, Reverse_ERROR = 0x00099900, XOR_ERROR = 0x000aaa00, RandomSort_ERROR = 0x000bbb00, }; ​#define TPM_ATTACK() \ { \ tpm_set_shutdown_mode(); \ return TPM_RC_FAILURE; \ } ​#define xor_sum3(a, b, c) ((UINT32)(a) ^ (UINT32)(b) ^ (UINT32)(c)) before preprocessor: // Load the persistent data UINT32 infoAddr = 0; ret = Cpy_U32_sum((UINT32*)&go, (UINT32*)NV_GO_START, sizeof(go) >> 2, xor_sum3(&go, NV_GO_START, sizeof(go) >> 2)); if (ret != Cpy_OK) { TPM_ATTACK(); } after preprocessor: // Load the persistent data UINT32 infoAddr = 0; ret = Cpy_U32_sum((UINT32*)&go, (UINT32*)((((0x6C800 + ((0x5) << 9)) + ((0x2) << 9)) + (0x00000200)) + (0x00000200)), sizeof(go) >> 2, ((UINT32)(&go) ^ (UINT32)(((((0x6C800 + ((0x5) << 9)) + ((0x2) << 9)) + (0x00000200)) + (0x00000200))) ^ (UINT32)(sizeof(go) >> 2))); if (ret != Cpy_OK) { { tpm_set_shutdown_mode(); return (TPM_RC)((TPM_RC)(0x100)+0x001); }; }

    lol, another plaintext file is what looks like the src for the firmware signer for this TPM, with three ECC private keys hardcoded (two are commented out) there's also the code for the firmware flasher on the device side, and binary for the util that talks to that code, with identical hardcoded key+iv for crypting the buffer transferred over uart (it's china, so as you'd expect the algorithm is SM4-CFB)

    @Rairii >with single character prefix denoting what the preprocessor did Sorry if this is a dumb q, but did you strip these out of your code snippets? I'm curious about the preprocessor debug mode LOL

  • @Rairii Is that data available publivly? if so, do you have a link or something? Thanks!
