Too few sampled comments (4) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Emproof's posts on fault attacks that bypass microcontroller readout protection, including on Nordic nRF chips. The comments only correct links or ask whether posts are related.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 4 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

HN discussionUnless I misunderstood the article [1], it describes this very same HW-based method of power glitching the chip at a crucial time using an external STM32F0 controlling the Vcore going to the nRF. Basically preventing it from checking if it's correctly locked or not at boot. After managing to connect through glitching, they dump the FW, then turn off APPROTECT, reflash, and have open debug access. >Our attack setup t…
