Hard Probe is a technical service for hardware, embedded and firmware — not a mere consultancy. The work happens on the bench, with an oscilloscope and a JTAG probe connected. When a board fails intermittently, when a fault won't reproduce, when a system needs to be attacked before someone else attacks it: that's where we start.
Founded by Francesco Not, Electronics Industry Technologist with 25 years across hardware design, firmware development and cybersecurity. Low-level debugging and hardware penetration testing are the core. Hands inside the system, finding what the others didn't find.
Diagnostics and root-cause analysis of complex HW/FW faults — intermittent, marginal, or hard to reproduce. For R&D, production and post-market, when the design says everything is fine but the board disagrees.
Security assessment on hardware and firmware: physical and logical penetration testing, reverse engineering, fault analysis. Hands-on, not a mere checklist, we find the attack surface before it finds you.
Technical support for EMI compliance (RED, FCC): pre-compliance debug and on-site assistance during testing. Launching in a later phase.
