Glitch Tag
The hands-on target
Take the tiny solder joints out of your first glitch. Glitch Tag puts a real nRF52832 chip and accessible connections on a board made for hands-on learning.

- Real-world silicon
- nRF52832
- Real chip protection
- APPROTECT
- SWD, serial, and glitching
- Exposed pins
Less fiddling. More understanding.
Hardware security is easier to explore when you can actually reach the hardware. Glitch Tag brings SWD, serial, and glitch connections out to convenient headers, so you can experiment without working on tiny connections inside an AirTag.
Use it with Faultier or your own tools to explore voltage fault injection and the nRF52’s APPROTECT protection.
Made to explore
The target made for getting started.
Bypass real chip protection.
Glitch the nRF52832's APPROTECT readout protection, not just intentionally vulnerable firmware. Based on our own AirTag research, Glitch Tag makes the same chip family accessible for your experiments.
Skip the microsoldering.
Exposed pins give you easy access to SWD, serial, and glitch connections. Hook up Faultier or your own tools and focus on the experiment.
Optional Hextree courses
Learn with Glitch Tag.
Explore on your own, or follow these optional Hextree courses for guided learning. Course access is separate from the hardware purchase.
