Google 2020 CTF – Hardware Challenge

Intro

When I heard that this years google CTF also contains a hardware challenge involving SystemVerilog I was quite stoked. As an Embedded Systems Engineer focused on FPGAs, it was clear instantly – I have to give it a try. For those of you who do not know SystemVerilog, it is a hardware description language used to design and implement electronic circuits within a chip (although it can also be used for simulation and verification).

The Challenge
