A hardware bypass enables attackers to restore full debug capabilities in the nRF52 radio chipset, used in many consumer and medical devices. Fault injection re-enables debugging in a way that attacks the silicon, unpatchable in software.

This chip is used in so many bluetooth products. Might be fun to go wardriving and find some and see if any have accessible SWD pins.
