Red Balloon Security RASPUTIN

RASPUTIN is an automated hardware reverse engineering platform developed by Red Balloon Security. The system uses precision robotics, high-resolution imaging, and modular tools to automate embedded hardware analysis workflows. The platform performs device scanning, component identification, and data capture for various use cases including supply chain assurance, counterfeit detection, device forensics, and adversary hardware research. It supports automated chip-level identification and firmware extraction with minimal manual intervention. RASPUTIN provides capabilities for validating device integrity, detecting tampering and substituted components, and identifying suspicious build variants. For forensic applications, it captures board imagery, signals, and extracted data from suspect devices to produce consistent artifacts for investigations and incident response teams. The system supports electromagnetic fault injection (EMFI) testing for systematic exploration of fault conditions and response behaviors. It includes scriptable routines and modular upgrades to enable custom probing, scanning, and extraction processes. The platform operates on a human-on-the-loop model, automating critical steps while allowing operator oversight. It is designed to reduce time, cost, and engineering effort in hardware analysis workflows for security teams, researchers, and organizations conducting hardware validation.
