@nprofile1q... Nope that's all on my own.
And there's a lot of code review and design/architecture work but yeah, plenty of reverse engineering too. It totally varies, I've done bootrom reviews and high level block diagram analysis down to transistors.
Here's a few examples of recent publications and conference presentations mostly silicon centric

https://www.usenix.org/conference/woot25/presentation/zonenberg (peer reviewed paper the keynote was based on)
https://www.usenix.org/conference/woot25/presentation/muench (collaboration between my team and several others describing multiple attacks found in the same target)
https://harris2026.mpi-sp.org/speakers/#sub-988VMQ (most recent silicon WIP)
