ChypSnipe is a collection of hardware-security research projects targeting FPGA-based systems. The repository is organized into three independent modules, each studying a different attack vector or characterization technique.
Chypnosis focuses on undervolting and side-channel experiments on FPGA targets.
Chypothermia is a framework for studying FPGA behavior when clocks are slowed or stopped under cryogenic and varied-temperature conditions, enabling static side-channel analysis.
GlitchSnipe investigates frequency-dependent, spatially localized voltage fault injection on FPGAs by treating the power delivery network (PDN) as a frequency-selective channel.

Each subfolder contains its own README with platform-specific setup instructions, hardware requirements, and usage details.
Responsible use: All experiments are intended for authorized academic research and hardware-security evaluation only. Perform side-channel and fault-injection experiments solely on hardware you own or have explicit permission to test.
