Attack CPLD IC Microcontroller data memory by MCU cracking method and readout Source Code from CPLD memory after decapsulate the CPLD silicon package

When attack CPLD IC microcontroller file, it is a common opinion that decapsulation is a complicated process which requires a lot of experience. In fact it is not and anyone capable of carrying out chemical or biological work in the context of a standard high-school program can do this.

All the necessary experience could be obtained by decapping a dozen different samples. Some precautions should be taken as the acids used in this process are very corrosive and dangerous; ideally, the work should be performed in a fume cupboard to prevent inhalation of the fumes from acids and solvents.

Eyes should be protected with safety goggles and appropriate acid-resistant gloves should be worn as the acid will cause severe burns if it accidentally comes into contact with the skin. Protective clothing should be worn as well.
