Yeah I have broken cutting edge $15,000 HSMs used by fintech companies, with a flash drive. Not worried about this. Most HSM designers are solving for compliance, not security.

> The legal aspect: Possession of burglary tools is illegal in some places.

A security researcher like myself would be crazy to live in those places

What AI company? I self host my LLM hardware on property I own. Also lets me remove all the censorship preventing use in security research.

None of your points concern me in the slightest. I can reverse engineer anything I want much faster now.
