    Bitcoin Red Team efforts are underway at the 256 Foundation, even on the primarily closed-source mining stack, thanks to powerful open-weight AI tools and decompilers. We've flagged initial findings to the respective parties.

    ~90% of ASICs run one vendor's closed-source firmware. Almost nobody has audited it. We at @256FOUNDATION do. Introducing the 256 Red Team 🧵 — the 256 Foundation's firmware security program. On hardware we own, in an isolated lab, under coordinated disclosure.

    Red Team work doesn't stop at software. Auditing the mining stack requires hardware to test firmware. Reach out if you'd like to support!

    A lot of you asked how the @256FOUNDATION Red Team actually tests closed-source mining firmware. The answer is real hardware. You can't audit what you can't run — so we run it. This is our control-board cage: miner brains on the bench, wired into an isolated lab network.

    The 256F is excited to highlight the first Bitcoin mining product built on Mujina, the open-source firmware we fund. RY3T's Nova turns surplus solar into hashrate, tracks PV curves in seconds, supports hashboard mixing, all via stock control boards.

    Another ASIC miner now running on Mujina open-source mining firmware! You love to see it! Shout out to Aadhi for all his hard work. This is the power of a FOSS community project. Progress accelerates as we build on top of one another. 🫡

    Mujina is now running on Canaan Nano 3S. I reverse engineered the miner , built the port, and made it open source. If you want the repo or installation instructions, hit me up. @canaanio & @canaaninamerica - I also applied for job . Figured I’d introduce myself properly. ⚡️⚡️
