The presentation describes various electronic, physical and chemical techniques for extracting data and firmware from embedded devices. 
The techniques range from basic non-invasive techniques to sophisticated invasive techniques using chip desoldering and chemical etching or laser ablation to expose bond wires inside chip packages and extract data.   Several case studies related to evidence extraction from embedded devices are presented.  Also, case studies dealing with the extraction and verification of firmware in suspected supply chain compromises are presented.
